I will receive books, merchandise and prizes from Disney-Hyperion in exchange for sharing this information and my honest opinion.
Miss the Percy Jackson series like I do? Well Rick Riordan has just launched his newest series “Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard” and it is all about Norse mythology. Honestly I had no clue what Norse mythology was, I didn’t know there was anything other than Greek mythology! Well Norse mythology is basically mythology of the North Germanic people. It features its own deities, beings and heroes from before and after the pagan period. The most well known god is probably Thor, yes the guy with the big hammer. Norse myths and legends have spread throughout European literary culture in Scandinavia, Germany and Britain. (Thanks to literary devices like Wikipedia!)
Magnus Chase has always been a troubled kid. Since his mother’s mysterious death, he’s lived alone on the streets of Boston, surviving by his wits, keeping one step ahead of the police and the truant officers. One day, he’s tracked down by an uncle he’s never met—a man his mother claimed was dangerous. His uncle tells him an impossible secret: Magnus is the son of a Norse god. The Viking myths are true. The gods of Asgard are preparing for war. Trolls, giants, and worse monsters are stirring for doomsday. To prevent Ragnarök, Magnus must search the Nine Worlds for a weapon that has been lost for thousands of years. When an attack by fire giants forces him to choose between his own safety and the lives of hundreds of innocents, Magnus makes a fatal decision. Sometimes, the only way to start a new life is to die . . .
