When it comes to explanation and execution, I agree. Riordan didn't put things adjustable with some real and good explanations and well execution. All the plot holes here and there, without any kind of calibrated and setted world building. It's just we have all those religions and all those gods in the same universe at the same time, that's just it. It's just what it is, all those things just there without a well execution and good explanation.

I do appreciate too that Riordan is trying to portray Muslims with a good and fair point of view, and that he is trying to portray that being an Atheist is also fine. But, when it comes to execution and world building, Riordan is not so good at it, politely speaking. He just puts those things in the same universe, but when it comes to building those things, he doesn't do that. He just puts those things without any settling. For the sake of the portray being Muslim and Atheist with a fair and good point of view, the whole well world-building, good execution and settling died- In fact, these things never were existed even.

By the way, if people's beliefs determines their lives and situations, why would Magnus went to the Valhalla, even if he is an atheist himself and in the atheism there is no afterlife? He shouldn't have went to the Valhalla, just because of Odin told so, because If he doesn't believe any kind of religion and god/s, then he shouldn't have went to any kind of after-life place after he died. What's kind of thing is that, then? If Magnus went to the Valhalla, then it doesn't matter what his beliefs are (non-beliefs in that case.) since he went to the Valhalla (an after-life place) just because of Odin told so. Then, here we are, that's the another plot hole, in that case.
