Thor's hammer is missing again. The thunder god has a disturbing habit of misplacing his weapon--the mightiest force in the Nine Worlds. But this time the hammer isn't just lost, it has fallen into enemy hands. If Magnus Chase and his friends can't retrieve the hammer quickly, the mortal worlds will be defenseless against an onslaught of giants. Ragnarok will begin. The Nine Worlds will burn. Unfortunately, the only person who can broker a deal for the hammer's return is the gods' worst enemy, Loki--and the price he wants is very high.
I'm sure you know it by know: I simply love Rick Riordan's novels. After devouring the Percy Jackson books as well as the Heroes of Olympus series, I was super excited about his new topic: the Norse Gods. One of the main reasons I enjoy Riordan's works so much is because you learn something with each page. I had always been fascinated by Greek mythology but the Norse stuff was completely new to me. As this is the second book in the series by now I have a pretty good idea of what's going on in Asgard and I can't wait to find out more.
Moreover, there is such brilliant humor in these pages! Riordan has definitely some of the best jokes assembled in this one - and also some of the funniest chapter titles.
The story itself is hell of ride and you never know what to expect next. Riordan fills his books with amiable characters and amazing friends. It basically ties right in with the stuff we are used to coming from him!
Another amazing book by Rick Riordan that will make you laugh, cry and even teach you something!
