Magnus Chase and the Ship of the Dead (Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard, #3)

by Rick Riordan

Rick Riordan's Norse hero faces his greatest challenge yet in the final instalment of the series.

Loki the trickster god is free from his chains. Now he's readying Naglfar, the Ship of the Dead, armed with a host of giants and zombies, to sail against the Norse gods and begin the final battle of Ragnarok. It's up to Magnus Chase and his friends to stop Loki's plans, but to do so they will have to sail across the oceans of Midgard, Jotunheim and Niflheim in a desperate race to reach Naglfar before it's ready to sail on Midsummer's Day.

Along the way, they will face angry sea gods, hostile giants, and an evil fire-breathing dragon who happens to be a former acquaintance. But Magnus's biggest challenge will be facing his own inner demons. To defeat Loki, Magnus will need to use words, not force. This will require finding a magical elixir so deadly that it will either make Magnus Chase powerful enough to out-talk the silver-tongued Loki, or destroy Magnus utterly.

Full review on my blog: www.thepunktheory.wordpress.com

I'm sure that by now you all know that I'm a huge Rick Riordan fan. After reading all his books dealing with Greek mythology I was excited about this new series about the Norse Gods.
So far, Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard has been a fascinating insight. I already learned so much!
The first two books were impossible to put down, so I was very excited to finally pick up book #3.
Let me say upfront, this is not the strongest book in the series. The Ship of the dead is a nice read. The story is interesting and there are lots of funny moments. However, ultimately it just didn't feel as good as the other two novels. I've read many of Riordan's other books, so I know he can do better. To be honest, if this is the only book you read, I'm sure you wouldn't even notice as it still is a good book. The others are just a notch better.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still super psyched by the series and hoping for another part!

A really fun listen, especially since I recently saw Thor: Ragnarok.

I really care for these characters and I love the diversity. While it is clearly present, it just adds to the characters rather than feeling forced. I love that homeless, deaf, orphans, Muslims, and gender-fluid kids and teens can all feel represented in this story.

And I'm really excited to see what happens with Magnus and Alex. I felt just as shocked and happy and confused as Magnus did.

I do so love these books. Adorable, silly, and unexpectedly touching. Thanks, Rick.

estoy contenta, pero enojada

Leer The Ship of The Dead fue simplemente un placer que quise alargar por más días, pero no pude contenerme.

No confirmar que Hearth y Blitz son pareja fue extremadamente insatisfactorio. Y me sorprende mi reacción porque yo no soy exactamente una gran shipper, solo que de verdad lo esperaba, por más sobreentendido que esté, porque vamos, esos dos son más esposos que nunca en este libro
