"It's the center of the universe," Magnus says, with a half-laugh. "By which I mean, it's at the trunk of the World Tree. Most people not from Boston would argue it's not the center of the world at all. It's, like, fine? As a city? I don't actually have a lot to compare it to. Lots of buildings, lots of bridges, lots of angry drivers. But it has some of my favorite things in the world. Fadlan's Falafel, for example, the best restaurant in Midgard. My friend Blitzen has a clothes store. The Chase Space is there. It's -- it was my uncle Randolph's house. He left it to me and my cousin Annabeth in his will, and when I stopped Loki the gods did some magical paperwork so that I could turn it into a better shelter for kids. Alex helps me run it. Hearth and Blitz help out, too."
