Summary
Magnus Chase， a once-homeless teen， is on a death-defying quest across the Norse realms， literally。 As a resident of the Hotel Valhalla， this son of the god Frey is now one of Odin's chosen warriors。 Magnus and his friends， Hearthstone the elf， Blitzen the dwarf， Samirah the Valkyrie， and other heroic characters must use all their wits and special talents in order to defeat fearsome giants， lethal creatures， and meddlesome gods in order stave off Ragnarok。 "A whirlwind of myth， action， and wry sarcasm， perfect for readers hungry for a new hit of that Percy Jackson-type magic。"--Horn Book

3。5 stars。 SPOILERS AHEAD。One of the things I truly love about Rick Riordan's books is the diversity that is portrayed throughout his books。 Most children's books don't include multiple characters that are diverse in religion， sexuality， disabilities， etc。 When authors take time and effort to create different characters with different backgrounds， it causes kids to be aware and more informed of the real world around them。 This book was an enjoyable read。 The journey of Magnus was interesting， an 3。5 stars。 SPOILERS AHEAD。One of the things I truly love about Rick Riordan's books is the diversity that is portrayed throughout his books。 Most children's books don't include multiple characters that are diverse in religion， sexuality， disabilities， etc。 When authors take time and effort to create different characters with different backgrounds， it causes kids to be aware and more informed of the real world around them。 This book was an enjoyable read。 The journey of Magnus was interesting， and along with that I learned much about mythologies。 The hints of danger， excitement， and somber lured me deeper into the series。Personally， The Heroes of Olympus series is assuredly my favorite。 It was briefly more on the serious topic （less humor） and sparked more interest in me compared to his other series。 I liked the nostalgic feeling of Percy Jackson and how the characters all balanced each other。 Relationship-wise in the Magnus Chase series， Magnus's and Alex's bond is adoring。 When they started settling in a serious relationship， it made my stomach churn （undoubtedly in a good way）。 I just loved it so much， they fitted perfectly together。 They worked together flawlessly and influenced the story greatly。 Although I did like the humor in Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard， I think there was too much。 Such as， Jack， （Magnus's famous sword） was a great ball of energy。 It was interesting how a sword could talk， but honestly， he nearly ruined the experience of reading the series。 You're probably thinking， "it's sword， what's the big deal" but he appeared numerous of times and made an impact on the book。 And not necessarily a good impact。 Jack was simply too over-enthusiastic。 The Magnus Chase Series can thrive without Jack's input。 A small minority of this book was Annabeth and Percy's appearance and how Annabeth is related to Magnus。 I just think they were so unnecessary。 Percy and Annabeth have been included in almost all of Rick Riordan's books。 I was really anticipating to finally read one of his books without the characters of Percy Jackson。 Don't get me wrong though， the whole crew is so iconic， I just think that for at least one series they should be excluded from the plot。 Overall， I thoroughly enjoyed this series and I highly recommend it to people who want to be enlightened by Rick Riordan's humor and creativity。 Despite the few concerns I had， it's equally as remarkable as any other book by this Author。 。。。more

It was a marvellous series that dived into Norse mythology from the eyes of Magnus， son of Frey。 The book made me fall in love with Norse myths。 In simple words， it was absolute brilliance！

It is really nice book it is about Norse gods 。I really like how he earns his own fame 。 Like in Percy Jackson they are already famous but in this book magnus is a son of a low rated god not even that powerful，。 I mean he earned it by himself by retrieving sword of summer 。 Fighting Fenrir retrieving Thor's hammer and fighting Loki。 It is really nice book it is about Norse gods 。I really like how he earns his own fame 。 Like in Percy Jackson they are already famous but in this book magnus is a son of a low rated god not even that powerful，。 I mean he earned it by himself by retrieving sword of summer 。 Fighting Fenrir retrieving Thor's hammer and fighting Loki。 。。。more

I feel I have to admit that I liked this one a bit better than the first two。 I decided that the obscure jokes are bc the author is bored。 Sorry， Rick， maybe write an update on Hamilton？

These books are some of my favorites from Rick's extended universe。 I fell almost instantly in love with Magnus and co。 especially Alex。 I've read the series two or three times through because I enjoy all of the characters so much。 These books are some of my favorites from Rick's extended universe。 I fell almost instantly in love with Magnus and co。 especially Alex。 I've read the series two or three times through because I enjoy all of the characters so much。 。。。more

Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard is a fun series based on Norse Mythology。 I find it very entertaining and you actually care about all the characters by the end of the first book。 Although Rick Riordan is better known as a writer of Percy Jackson and The Olympians， I find myself liking this series a little more。 Who knows？ Perhaps I find Norse Mythology more interesting。

I needed some light reading， and this didn’t disappoint。 The best thing about this novel was it’s humor。 I found myself laughing at the dry humor。 I might get his for my niece who gobbles up fantasy fiction。

These were fun books， not quite as good as the first two series， focusing on Percy， but still quite enjoyable。 They didn’t quite have the same effect as the original series as far as getting me interested in the mythology。

I am not sure I am a balanced reviewer of this book because norse myth and fantasy don't hold my interest。 A gift from my godson and a willingness to try a read beyond limits prompted me to take this story to the end。The writing is punchy and often humorous。The story seems to lead from one travail to yet another。 Yet for one who isn't much into fantasy magic， this seemed like pulling another rabbit out of the hat。The principal characters form intriguing personalities during their adventures and I am not sure I am a balanced reviewer of this book because norse myth and fantasy don't hold my interest。 A gift from my godson and a willingness to try a read beyond limits prompted me to take this story to the end。The writing is punchy and often humorous。The story seems to lead from one travail to yet another。 Yet for one who isn't much into fantasy magic， this seemed like pulling another rabbit out of the hat。The principal characters form intriguing personalities during their adventures and especially on their reflections on what has befallen them。 There is a theme of the members of the group dedicated to the good of the whole。 Truly a healthy message in an individualistic era。 Hopefully this message is well received。 Certainly it is well written。 。。。more

I can tell Riordan is through in his mythology research and uses that knowledge to build stories that draw readers in and teach them a little mythology while entertaining them。 The heroes in this book have a few common themes -personal tragedy （i。e。 The death of a parent or some thing in that line）， no knowledge of their true parentage， and a quest of some sort that awakens their potential strength。 Riordan fills his stories with humor and sarcasm。For pre-teens and children interested in mytholo I can tell Riordan is through in his mythology research and uses that knowledge to build stories that draw readers in and teach them a little mythology while entertaining them。 The heroes in this book have a few common themes -personal tragedy （i。e。 The death of a parent or some thing in that line）， no knowledge of their true parentage， and a quest of some sort that awakens their potential strength。 Riordan fills his stories with humor and sarcasm。For pre-teens and children interested in mythology， this is a good read。 Not everyone lives， but it's not as violent as some of the others。 He shows character development in both the hero， his friends， and those around him。 。。。more
