Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. 4.5 ( ![]() Even better than the first book. We get great character development and representation of minorities. Magnus is still 'Love, Love, Peace, Peace' with a side of 'If you mess with my friends I'll kick your ass.' I can't wait to start the final book (OMG PERCY IS IN IT!!1!) It's very satisfying the topics RR takes on. I feel schooled myself listening to this series. It's good for kids who's parents don't know how or want to discuss subject like religion or gender. Enjoyable book. I really like the character Alex Fierro who is gender fluid and brought an interesting twist to the story. Magnus Chase is helping the search for Thor's hammer. Apparently, Thor is not very careful with this important weapon and it has gone missing. Was it stolen or just misplaced? In the meantime, during the search, Magnus is joined by Samirah, Blitzen and Hearthstone. A new character, a genderfluid teenager and child of Loki, also appears recently coming to Valhalla as an einherji. This quintet have to fight giants to find the missing artifact as well as deal with the trickster god, Loki. It absolutely amazes me that a Young Adult book like this can not only entertain so well but also educate about gender fluidity, handicaps, and other religions. Well done!
In the second adventure of Magnus Chase series, the fate of the 9 worlds depends on a misfit band of Norse supernaturals...again... Together they take on another impossible mission to stop Loki from triggering Ragnarock, which is pretty much the end of the universe. Riordan has done a good job of creating character diversity and challenging traditional stereotypes. Magnus Chase himself was a homeless teenager, his friend Samira is a middle eastern Valkyrie, Hearthstone is a deaf and mute elf, Blitzen the dwarf would rather sew fine clothes than blacksmith and craft like his kinsmen, and a new character named Alex identifies as gender fluid. The story itself is totally original and unlike anything I've ever read. The series makes fun of the Norse gods and makes them just plain weird. Even with the teenage humor, it is obvious a lot of research went into creating the world of Magnus Chase. There are a lot of Norse characters and lore that I had not heard of which is refreshing in the age of Marvel's superheroes (hunky Thor and company). This is definitely a high school & young-adult fantasy series. As I stated in my review of the first book, Sword of Summer, I may have liked this more if I was a teenager. As always, happy reading! 📚
