Magnus Chase has always been a troubled kid. Since his mother's mysterious death, he's lived alone on the streets of Boston, surviving by his wits, keeping one step ahead of the police and the truant officers.

One day, he's tracked down by an uncle he barely knows - a man his mother claimed was dangerous. Uncle Randolph tells him an impossible secret: Magnus is the son of a Norse god.

The Viking myths are true. The gods of Asgard are preparing for war. Trolls, giants and worse monsters are stirring for doomsday. To prevent Ragnarok, Magnus must search the Nine Worlds for a weapon that has been lost for thousands of years.

When an attack by fire giants forces him to choose between his own safety and the lives of hundreds of innocents, Magnus makes a fatal decision.

Sometimes, the only way to start a new life is to die...

Percy Jackson is the eponymous hero of the best-selling Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan. He made his debut in The Lightning Thief at just 12 years old, where he discovered the shocking truth about his parentage: He is a demigod, the son of a mortal woman and the god Poseidon. Beyond his own series, he was one of the protagonists in the Heroes of Olympus series and has since appeared in other spin-off novels and series from Riordan.

This first book in a new series on Norse mythology/demigods may just be his best yet! I always love a Riordan book, but this one is positively compelling in its plot development, and wonderfully whimsical and humorous on so many pages.

The only downside is the very poor narration by Christopher Guetig. It's awkward and lacks character variety. Fortunately the book itself kept me engaged.

AMAZING

The book itself was great! Funny, good characters, and it goes at a fast pace. The only downside was the narrator Riordan chose. I had already read the book and that not what I imagined magnus sounding like at all. The voice was kind of nasally and the sarcastic comments sounded forced. I recommend reading this as an eBook.

Awesome book, but...
