4 ⭐️Trigger warnings: violence/murder， gore， mentions of dead relatives， fastingI don’t know why it always takes me longer to read the Magnus Chase books。 Maybe I’m finally getting too old for the demigod books 🤷🏻♀️Like every other Riordan book， this was funny and full of adventures that highlighted each character’s strengths。 It made me laughed a few times and I appreciated the romance budding between Magnus and Alex。The rep was good in general， although there were some slip ups。 One can’t be 4 ⭐️Trigger warnings: violence/murder， gore， mentions of dead relatives， fastingI don’t know why it always takes me longer to read the Magnus Chase books。 Maybe I’m finally getting too old for the demigod books 🤷🏻♀️Like every other Riordan book， this was funny and full of adventures that highlighted each character’s strengths。 It made me laughed a few times and I appreciated the romance budding between Magnus and Alex。The rep was good in general， although there were some slip ups。 One can’t be perfect， I guess。I liked the crossover with the greek world and I wish we’d lesrned more about what Annabeth meant in that phone call， but I guess that’s what Trials of Apollo is about。。。I’d put this series on par with Kane Chronicles。 It’s not bad， but I don’t love it as much as the original series。 。。。more

It took me a little while to actually start reading it， but once I did I really enjoyed it。 The first part was just kind of slow。

Eck！ I don't know how to explain a book that is all of the things I wanted and needed from it。 I kinda want to scream and cry and laugh and smile， all at the same time。 I love how the characters have developed， and so have their relationships。 It kinda does remind of the journey taken by the seven on their ship， but its also different。 PERCY IS MENTIONED PEOPLE！ Loved it， and the journey and just ahhhh so good。 Eck！ I don't know how to explain a book that is all of the things I wanted and needed from it。 I kinda want to scream and cry and laugh and smile， all at the same time。 I love how the characters have developed， and so have their relationships。 It kinda does remind of the journey taken by the seven on their ship， but its also different。 PERCY IS MENTIONED PEOPLE！ Loved it， and the journey and just ahhhh so good。 。。。more

Que hermosa forma de terminar la trilogía。Siento que todavía se podría explotar este mundo como el de las crónicas de Kane， pero con lo que Rick Riordan ha escrito hasta ahora me siento más que satisfecha。

Selalu suka dengan buku om Rick Riordan。Dan juga terjemahan Mizan memang mantap！Rick Riordan selalu bisa mengakhiri ceritanya dengan baik yang bisa bikin penasaran tentang apa yang terjadi di karya selanjutnya？Annabeth habis menangis！ Ku rasa ini berkaitan dengan Trials Apollo 3。 Now it's time to go to Apollo！ Selalu suka dengan buku om Rick Riordan。Dan juga terjemahan Mizan memang mantap！Rick Riordan selalu bisa mengakhiri ceritanya dengan baik yang bisa bikin penasaran tentang apa yang terjadi di karya selanjutnya？Annabeth habis menangis！ Ku rasa ini berkaitan dengan Trials Apollo 3。 Now it's time to go to Apollo！ 。。。more

2，5。 Odio las trilogías o sagas en las cuales amo el primer libro y la calidad de los demás decae terriblemente。 Me pone super triste porque me encantó el primer libro， al igual que dije en la reseña del anterior。 Fue aburrido en partes， muchos conflictos o dudas no resueltas （por ejemplo， tema madre de Magnus）。 El final no fue para nada lo que esperaba， y si bien no es que fue "malo" siento que ninguno de los dos llegó a la calidad del primero。 Decepción :（ 2，5。 Odio las trilogías o sagas en las cuales amo el primer libro y la calidad de los demás decae terriblemente。 Me pone super triste porque me encantó el primer libro， al igual que dije en la reseña del anterior。 Fue aburrido en partes， muchos conflictos o dudas no resueltas （por ejemplo， tema madre de Magnus）。 El final no fue para nada lo que esperaba， y si bien no es que fue "malo" siento que ninguno de los dos llegó a la calidad del primero。 Decepción :（ 。。。more

This book was so good！ The diversity doesn’t feel forced， and the romance will make you feel painfully single， but you’ll love it regardless。 This is by far Rick Riordan's most diverse book and it has a wonderful message。 There are also a few MCU references。 I did cry at the end because Annabeth and Percy were crying。 They didn’t explicitly say why， but they had just gone out to California and this book took place right after Burning Maze， so I can kind of guess the bad news they got and there a This book was so good！ The diversity doesn’t feel forced， and the romance will make you feel painfully single， but you’ll love it regardless。 This is by far Rick Riordan's most diverse book and it has a wonderful message。 There are also a few MCU references。 I did cry at the end because Annabeth and Percy were crying。 They didn’t explicitly say why， but they had just gone out to California and this book took place right after Burning Maze， so I can kind of guess the bad news they got and there are a lot of repressed feelings regarding that， that I’m not ready to deal with。 Either way this entire series was really good。 I highly recommend reading this series。 。。。more

A really amazing conclusion to a really amazing series。 I think this might have been my favourite one of the three though I can't put my finger on why。 I cried at the flyting and loved meeting new characters like Skadi and Njord。 Fantastic read， definitely recommend。 A really amazing conclusion to a really amazing series。 I think this might have been my favourite one of the three though I can't put my finger on why。 I cried at the flyting and loved meeting new characters like Skadi and Njord。 Fantastic read， definitely recommend。 。。。more

Definitely an improvement over the second book - I remember not enjoying this series as much as Rick’s others because a lot of the visuals and descriptions were just overwhelming for me to try and picture and it always felt like there was so much going on and everything was really crazy。 This last book felt a lot easier for me to absorb this time。 This book is rated 3 stars for me not because I don’t think it’s a good novel， because I know it is， but just because I wasn’t quite as into it as oth Definitely an improvement over the second book - I remember not enjoying this series as much as Rick’s others because a lot of the visuals and descriptions were just overwhelming for me to try and picture and it always felt like there was so much going on and everything was really crazy。 This last book felt a lot easier for me to absorb this time。 This book is rated 3 stars for me not because I don’t think it’s a good novel， because I know it is， but just because I wasn’t quite as into it as other books， but I think that’s more of a personal preference rather than a reflection of Rick’s writing。 。。。more

So I’m giving this book an additional star for two reasons。 The first is the audiobook narrator， Michael Crouch。 He did an AMAZING job on the audiobook with different voices for different characters and making this book come to life。 The second is the way with which Alex’s character is handled。 I love that Riordan wrote Alex as a gender fluid character and showed that it’s possible to write such a character and that representation matters。 Also I loved that Alex’s gender fluidity wasn’t a big de So I’m giving this book an additional star for two reasons。 The first is the audiobook narrator， Michael Crouch。 He did an AMAZING job on the audiobook with different voices for different characters and making this book come to life。 The second is the way with which Alex’s character is handled。 I love that Riordan wrote Alex as a gender fluid character and showed that it’s possible to write such a character and that representation matters。 Also I loved that Alex’s gender fluidity wasn’t a big deal that it became normal for Alex to switch genders and for the other characters to just go with it and not make it into some big thing。 Overall I really enjoyed the Magnus Chase series and would recommend it to all readers who love mythology and adventure。 。。。more

Weak 4 stars。 While it does deviate from the formula a bit， and it does have plenty of fun， as a climax it's uninspired。 Things came a bit too easy for the heroes。 Weak 4 stars。 While it does deviate from the formula a bit， and it does have plenty of fun， as a climax it's uninspired。 Things came a bit too easy for the heroes。 。。。more

The Ship of the Dead is an interesting title for the end of Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard as the actual ship is simply a setting for a majority of the novel。 A more proper title could have been something along the lines of “The Capture of Loki” as that is actually where a lot of the book is headed。 This is also a book which is incredibly focused in on the importance of character relationships and ensuring the world ends at the proper time。 Much of this novel has the characters preoccupied The Ship of the Dead is an interesting title for the end of Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard as the actual ship is simply a setting for a majority of the novel。 A more proper title could have been something along the lines of “The Capture of Loki” as that is actually where a lot of the book is headed。 This is also a book which is incredibly focused in on the importance of character relationships and ensuring the world ends at the proper time。 Much of this novel has the characters preoccupied with preparing for a duel so they can gain passage to where Ragnarök is meant to eventually occur， but of course this is not the time， while it is the place。 The plot of The Ship of the Dead， like many of the other works of Rick Riordan， follows a fairly similar plotline。 It’s not really more interesting or different from the other plots， though there are a few interesting aspects。 The foldable ship， nicknamed the Big Banana for it’s yellow shade and the development of the other residents on floor nineteen， something that really hadn’t actually been done in the previous two books。Mallory Keen is perhaps far too much of just being defined by sarcasm， though her connections to the IRA and her own death is also an interesting reflection on everyone from floor nineteen somehow being a revolutionary， bar Magnus and Alex。 Riordan does some interesting things in setting up these revolutionary situations where both the good and evil people are put as those warriors who will fight Ragnarok on the side of good。 TJ is perhaps the most interesting as his death as a freed black man in the Civil War fighting with the Union， and it is stated that there are Confederate soldiers who live at Hotel Valhalla。 It makes for an interesting commentary on bravery as Loki posits near the end of the book that there is no such thing as good and evil， just capable and incapable。 This is something that Riordan seems to be against， as there is commentary on those fighting for the Confederates not being good people and evil， but it’s also an attempt to setup morality away from the standard Christian view of good vs。 evil。 Norse mythology was a system of beliefs which had been Christianized， including themes of a new world being ruled by only one God above all other gods and Loki， due to the snake theme occasionally， is often conflated with Satan。 A lot of The Ship of the Dead can be described as attempting to refute the Christianization of ancient religions and expanding the modern view of religions from a secular standpoint。Samirah is actually where a lot of this exploration also happens: the book takes place during Ramadan。 This is something that it is stated that she doesn’t have to observe on her quest， but she goes above and beyond to actually fast throughout the novel and it is treated as admirable。 Her relationship with Amir is also actually coming across really well in this book， as they kind of reach an understanding and the romance is actually there。 There’s also some stuff where Amir has to come to terms with Sam’s double life which is also confirms that their relationship is on equal footing， going against the traditional arranged marriage， and it does help that you actually see where their lifelong friendship actually came from。 There is also the relationship and understanding between Magnus and Alex which actually comes to something more than just romantic tension。 Magnus does have a moment where he has a crisis of identity， which is quickly overcome as he gives an inspiring speech at the climax of the book essentially so that everything comes to a good ending。 Alex is also just that right level of sarcasm to not come across as over the top or annoying， though Alex’s character arc in helping Sam overcome Loki’s influence and both of them working together as siblings。 The only real problem in this book is kind of that the climax is a bit of an anti-climax in places， though Loki as a villain is great and using trickery to beat a trickster god obviously works， it just kind of comes to a stop。Overall， The Ship of the Dead is most definitely an interesting conclusion and it does end up flying by with the spectacular character work which is par for the course for Riordan’s work。 The Norse Mythology aspects of this and the entire trilogy simply makes The Kane Chronicles look like a dry run for Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard。 It brings a story to a satisfactory and incredibly fulfilling close and genuinely makes me sad that these characters’ stories are over。 9/10。 。。。more

Me encantó el libro， los primeros capítulos son un poco lentos pero después empiezan a estar más divertidos y interesantes; lo poco que hay de percy y Annabeth es genial。La relación de Alex y Magnus es muy tierna y la de magnus con todos los demás en general también; me gusto mucho T。JLos nombres de los capítulos son lo mejor que hay y en sí la comedia me encanta

The writing and storytelling is as strong with this one as the earlier books， as is the general sense of fun。 There were pieces of the series as a whole that I didn't like but overall I liked significantly more than I didn't like。 The ending was well written and made sense for the story。 It was bittersweet and there were things I would have personally liked to be different about it， but it was about as optimistic as Norse mythology generally gets。 It was really quite a fascinating ending really。 The writing and storytelling is as strong with this one as the earlier books， as is the general sense of fun。 There were pieces of the series as a whole that I didn't like but overall I liked significantly more than I didn't like。 The ending was well written and made sense for the story。 It was bittersweet and there were things I would have personally liked to be different about it， but it was about as optimistic as Norse mythology generally gets。 It was really quite a fascinating ending really。 I couldn't say it's one of my favorite endings， but it will probably stick in my mind longer than most， and I guess that says something。 The Magnus Chase trilogy has been the most unique of Riordan's stories that I have read so far。 。。。more
