Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard, Book 2: The Hammer of Thor

Rick Riordan is the best!

This book is amazing. It has everything I love about Norse mythology and more! It has amazing characters, narration, and jokes. I had high expectations for this book and it didn’t disappoint. If you like Percy Jackson or just like Norse mythology, then this is a great read.

So I may have been wrong cause this book is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the first one. Even within the first two chapters i knew I was gonna enjoy this more. I got to see more characters I enjoyed brought into the forefront and more depth..so seeing Randolph and Loki play a big part was neat;. Hearthstone (who could use his own series was great ne the same goes for Sam )!their story within this is great. I even enjoyed Alex who I was never skeptical on but I feel could be a love interest for Mahmud. And even though the sword being sentient is still giddy to me even he had personality The adventures in this book were way more thrilling in this one and you actually felt the stakes. I could’ve done without the tournament giant chapter and the bein fall chapter (I feel they could’ve found out that information form the corpses or have heart stones father or the well dwarf or someone give them that information they found out in those chapters because other than those minor points of knowledge those chapters weren’t needed at all and were just the tv book equivalent for comic relief which is not always needed. Downside, one thing that I’ve picked up on between this book and the last..is that it seems like evey rick riordan book is the same story wise..this follows Percy Jackson..first book looking for an item, second book was a wedding and looking for an items…the repetition is starting to get tedious no variety. And I guess with magnus being related to Anna Beth with her appearances would man the possibility of a crossover which would be cool, but if it’s not a huge event crossover then I don’t see a point in it I really like this book and hopeful the third one holds up or is even better

I like this book, but i personally think that hearth should get a gosh diddly darn girlfriend already!!!

Magnus and Alex! Fav duo in RiordanVerse( yes, I don’t like Percabeth) this book is way better than the first

A little boring in the middle

This might be controversial but this is my favorite Rick series and always stick to Rick honestly having Alex and Magnus be a couple but are just way too shy to understand. Hearth is definitely my favorite character because cool 😎 All the emotions in this book 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪 also slayyyyyyyyyy I am Lizzo

So I have stuck with Rick through Percy Jackson, Heroes of Olympus, Trials of Apollo, Magnus Chase, and the Sun and the Star. Can I just say I love this book. Once Alex got into the book, she was immediately my fav character. I hate how people think it’s weird or wrong for people to be gender-fluid and I think that Rick does a great job at acknowledging everyone. He includes people under the LGBQT+ flag, people with disabilities like Hearthstone, and people from deferent cultures in his other books

♥️🧡💛💚💙💜 To all the people who are complaining about Alex being gender fluid: It’s just the way that people work. Alex switches genders, gay people exist, love is love. Being gender fluid is a real world thing that needs to be acknowledged. Alex’s experience has just show how hard it can be growing up being told “This is who you are. You stay that way.You have one gender, and it’s the one you were born with“ It’s not ok that people act like being gender fluid is bad. Please don’t be like that. It makes me sick to see people hating on Alex because of their gender.

When I got the first book it blew my mind.when I read this one, it just got even better!
