The Hammer of Thor | |
"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
作者简介Rick Riordan, dubbed "storyteller of the gods" by Publishers Weekly, is the author of three #1 New York Times best-selling middle grade series with 45 million copies sold throughout the world: Percy Jackson and the Olympians, based on Greek mythology; the Kane Chronicles, based on Ancient Egyptian mythology; and the Heroes of Olympus, based on Greek and Roman mythology. Rick collaborated with illustrator John Rocco on two best-selling collections of Greek myths for the whole family: Percy Jackson's Greek Gods and Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes. The first book in his Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard trilogy based on Norse mythology, The Sword of Summer, also debuted at #1 on the New York Times list. Rick lives in Boston, Massachusetts with his wife and two sons. Follow him on Twitter at @camphalfblood.

While not anywhere close to being the masterpiece that Percy Jackson's adventures are, Magnus Chase certainly is an interesting character in a very different kind of story. I do feel as though the story were written in a hurry because it has none of the enthralling genius that was apparrent in Rick Riordan's later books in the Percy Jackson series and in the Kane Chronicles as well as the first book about Apollo. However, I see plenty of potential in the story, love how diverse the characters are and am delighted to have representation from the Muslim population in a popular author's books. I can't wait to read the next one!
Read it in 3 hours flat this evening. Very well written, nice pacing, wonderful character development. Magnus and crew are very wonderful characters to care about during their trials, which makes the story very gripping to read. Unlike his previous series, the direction of the story flows much more smoothly, not having to worry about multiple viewpoints or flat main characters. There is a slight time reference discrepancy, but nothing that takes away from the flow of the story. It was a fantastic addition to a series that started off with a strong first book. Perhaps this is his best written series yet!
Now a not complaint, but observation for parents.
This series is much more violent than previous Percy Jackson/HoO novels, as the Norse/Heathen mythos is more outright violent than its Greek counterpart. It works well with the type of story Riordan tells, and gives more emotional investment in the plot, but make sure you want your preteen to read about decapitation/gore in such a way. As an adult it added stakes and layers to the story, and was wonderful, but I can see where some parents may be caught off guard by the brutality of some descriptions. Recommend personally for 14+ age range for the casual violent scenes.
Love it pls keep making amazing books
Pls keep the humor especially for Star Wars humor
I've read most of Percy Jackson books twice some three times but it is worth the while reading it
A wonderful second installment of the Magnus Chase series.
Rick does a wonderful job of bringing Mythology to life, and with his introduction of Alex Fierro, continues his inclusive streak, seen with the likes of LGBT Character Nico di Angelo; Muslim Co-Star of the book Samira al-Abbas, and the Persons of Color seen throughout "The Kane Chronicles".
Rick Riordan has had my reading attention for the past few years, and his books are easy to read, fun, and, most of all, well written.
There is only one thing in my opinion that gets my hackles up and that's the way the gods are shown as kinda dumb. However, I remember it is just a book and just get into the story.
