Description

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 . . .

    Ok so I didn’t read this book online but I have a physical copy and lemme just say a couple things: 1. The characters feel so real that I developed an actual attachment to them, which only happened before this with undertale and deltarune 2. This is a REALLY long book. Like really long. This is good for people like me who dare fluent readers and go through an entire book series in a week 3. Hearthstone. Just Hearthstone (you’ll see what I mean when you meet him). From the start, he’s portrayed as a very likable dude, and Rick absolutely nailed the depiction of Muslim and deaf characters (samirah and hearth respectively). 4. Once you start reading this book, you’ll never be able to put it down. I’ve already decided to give this book to my future kid when that time rolls around. Anyways, what are you waiting for? Stop reading this review and read the book! -FreshEpic!Sans

    This book is too good. It’s about Magnus Chase, a person from Boston, who discovers his birthright: the Sword of Summer. But then he dies and is reborn in Valhalla. He then faces others and uses the World Tree. He wants to defeat his enemies. But he needs to go through challenges. So he tries to overcome them. Please read this book!

    Magnus’ sarcasm is halarious and the book is really funny. The only bad thing is the voice, it makes it sound bad

    I love Magnus! He is so funny and it’s really awesome to see him grow through the book! Also, I love how Percy survived 3 series and Magnus just dies in the first couple of chapters
