#Leif Helgarson

[legendaryevokercupcake]

Reasons I don't like Rick Riordan:

Chiron's characterization. This son of a titan raised so many actual, mythological Greek heroes (Achilles, Patroclus, Odysseus, Heracles, Jason, I could go on) and he did it damn well. He's not just gonna send a bunch of kids into a war with absolutely zero context on it, and he's not just going to abandon them when they leave camp. If you want to write a book about Greek mythology, taking characters from Greek mythology, then maybe you should actually read some Greek mythology.

Nico's existence. Hades is famous for being the one guy who never cheated on his wife. The one person who tried to sleep with him got turned into a mint plant. Nico cannot exist in Greek mythology because Hades would never sleep with Maria.

Athena having kids. Athena is a maiden goddess. She doesn't sleep with men. She thus cannot have biological children. Even if we are going the magic route, she still likely wouldn't even give a man a second (or let's be honest, first) glance.

Ares wouldn't lose. Ares wouldn't lose to an experienced fighter like Heracles or Achilles, he won't lose to some random kid, even if the kid IS a child of Poseidon.

His one Muslim character worships a god who is not Allah. This is against Muslim religion. She is a Valkyrie. This is against Muslim religion. She takes off her hijab in front of men who are not her biological and/or legal family. This is against Muslim religion.

He blocked fans who asked him (politely) to apologize, explain or even acknowledge his wrongdoings.

I could make more of these if people want them. I'm autistic and one of my fixations is Greek mythology (Notably NOT Percy Jackson) so I know a thing or two, and I'm literally part Scandinavian so I can slander Magnus Chase with my whole heart and soul.

If you want a good Norse mythology book, read the Iron Druid series. Leif is an absolute icon and his relationship with Hal is everything you could want in a ship, platonic or romantic. Atticus' dog is adorable and, as much as Atticus himself irritates me sometimes,

Atticus to Leif: Live each day as if it were your last, ‘cause I’m gonna kill you but I’m not super good with schedules.

Leif Helgarson is a manipulative little undead bastard and I love him with all my heart.

Gesamtwertung

Von Anfang an verstrickt sich Atticus wieder in unterschiedliche Machenschaften von Hexen und Werwölfen und muss ihnen Versprechungen erfüllen. Denn der Druide ist nicht allmächtig, was mir sehr gut gefallen hat. Er ist kein Superheld, der alles sofort lösen kann. Er ist auch auf Hilfe angewiesen, brockt sich dabei aber meist große Unterfangen ein. Wie der Auftritt von Jesus zu sehen ist muss jeder selbst wissen, ja er taucht auf und entweder man nimmt es mit Humor oder mag es eben nicht.... Ich fand ihn witzig.

In den letzten Stunden verlor ich den Faden und wusste zwischenzeitlich nicht was Traum/Vision, Rückblick und Geschichte war.  Schade bei der guten Geschichte. Kevin Hearne erzählt zu jedem Verbündeten von Atticus direkt eine ganze Geschichte, warum sie sich mit ihm gegen Thor zusammenschließen. Mir hätte ein Vorstellen der Charaktere und das Nenen eines Motives gereich, denn das ganze musste ich mir für jeden Mitstreiter anhören.

Zu dem erfahren wir, wie Atticus Leif Helgarson (den Vampiranwalt) kennen lernt: Es hatte sich herumgesprochen, was Atticus gegen Thor im Schilde führt. Dabei erfahren wir, dass der Druide im 11. Jahrhundert zum Vampir verwandelt worden ist? Häh? Was zur Hölle habe ich da verpasst... ?

After centuries, Viking vampire Leif Helgarson is ready to get his vengeance, and he’s asked his friend Atticus O’Sullivan, the last of the Druids, to help take down this Norse nightmare. One…

Atticus: Something’s up.

Leif: I should like to take this opportunity to name you Sherlock and point out that there is no shit.

Granuaile: Um, why is Leif tied to a chair?

Atticus: The question you’ll soon be asking is, “why isn't he gagged”?

Leif: So, what are your concerns?

Atticus: Well you lied to me.

Leif: Hmm, noted. Go on.

Atticus: And you threw me in this dungeon.

Leif: Ah, I see. Anything else?

Atticus: Uh, no. But…No. I guess those are the main two.

Leif: Thank you. Your feedback is a gift.
