This is an amazing book about Norse Mythology. It kept me gripped until the very end. Now that Thor's hammer has been stolen, it's Magnus and his friends job to get it back. The stakes are high and so is the action. If you liked any of the other Rick Riordan books you will love the second installment of his Magnus Chase series. Don't miss the third book, The Ship of the Dead, whih comes out in fall of 2017.
Magnus Chase and the Hammer of Thor book trailer
"Riordan has once again created a reluctant hero who finds himself out of his depth. He stays fairly close to the spirit of the original myths, twisting them for extra comedic effect-Avengers fans may hardly recognize this blustery, red-headed, TV-binge-watching Thor. There's appeal for new readers, but Percy Jackson fans will also undoubtedly snap this up, and there's even some overlap: Magnus' cousin is Annabeth Chase. Buy extra copies, and prepare for the siege.
HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Norse myths are in right now, and Riordan has the magic touch, a combination that makes the extensive marketing campaign seem almost redundant."―Booklist
