Rick Riordan has done it again. His new series Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard is no exception from his other series. If you liked any of his other books you will love this. I would definitely recommend this book. The second installment, The Hammer of Thor is due to come out on October 4, 2016. Also check out The Trials of Apollo on my website.
"Rick Riordan's new series is simply brilliant-maybe his best yet! I thought I knew Norse mythology, but now that I've read the gripping and hilarious Sword of Summer, I'll never see Thor the same way again. Get ready to stay up all night reading!"―Harlan Coben
"The Sword of Summer combines the glory of Norse myth with the joy of Rick Riordan's effervescent world-building. One of Riordan's funniest books-everything from the chapter titles to the wry humor of Magnus Chase will have you chuckling, even as the plot races along at breakneck speed. Check me in to Hotel Valhalla, please. I'll be staying."― Cassandra Clare
