About this listen

Brought to you by Puffin.

The first audiobook in the incredible new series from the author of Percy Jackson, the Kane Chronicles and Heroes of Olympus.

My name is Magnus Chase. I'm orphaned and living rough on the streets of Boston. And things are about to get much worse.

My day started out normally enough. I was sleeping under a bridge when some guy kicked me awake and said, 'They're after you.' Next thing I know, I'm reunited with my obnoxious uncle, who casually informs me that my long-lost father is a Norse god.

Nothing normal about that. And it turns out the gods of Asgard are preparing for war. Apparently, if I can't find the sword my father lost two thousand years ago, there will be doom. Doomsday, to be precise.

A fire giant attacking the city?

Immortal warriors hacking each other to pieces?

Unkillable wolves with glowing eyes?

It's all coming up.

But first I'm going to die. This is the story of how my life goes downhill from there...

I absolutely loved the narration and the story had a gripping plot. I couldn’t stop listing! I would definitely recommend this to someone who enjoys Rick Riordan’s Demi - god novels, a lovely book indeed.

Rick Riordan is my favourite writer by far I love every single book he has written although I wish he would make a book about Leo Valdés and the time before he met Jason grace and maybe another when he goes adventuring with Calipso

I think Rick is a genius

Liked the story, but the performance was shockingly bad, almost ruined it. Hopefully next one is better.

Good Story, bad reading

Try listening to the other recent series, The Hidden Oracle. The narrator is a lot more involved and much better at character description. This one ruins the mood constantly.

Great Book Terrible Narration

The story is nice, but the humor is a little too childish in places for my liking. I think the most interesting thing about this story is the unique characters. The narration is slow, so I played it at x1.15 speed or so.

Nice-ish
