One thing I noticed rereading the pjo series then reading the 2nd Magnus Chase book is that the gods are portrayed more seriously. Like in pjo they're something to be feared and respected (and annoyed with as Percy got older) but in mcga they're just kind of silly and a little hard to take seriously.
i haven’t read mcga yet, but i can definitely see that. they felt less serious in even just hoo, and i know we joke about how names stopped becoming important, but i hope rick somehow gets back to how powerful and scary gods can be
i know it’s a middle grade book, but he’s done it before
