Description
Magnus Chase and the Hammer of Thor - Rick Riordan
Magnus Chase and the Hammer of Thor by Rick Riordan is the second book in the Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard series, an action-packed children's fantasy adventure inspired by Norse mythology. Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson, Viking gods, magical quests and fast-paced mythology fiction, the story sends Magnus Chase on a dangerous mission to recover Thor's legendary hammer, Mjölnir.
After surviving his first adventure across the Nine Worlds, Magnus is beginning to adjust to his unusual afterlife at Hotel Valhalla.
Then he receives some very bad news.
Thor's hammer is missing.
Mjölnir is more than the thunder god's most powerful weapon. It is one of the Nine Worlds' greatest defences against the giants, and if it remains in enemy hands, the mortal world will be left vulnerable to invasion.
Magnus and his friends must find the hammer before the balance between gods and giants collapses and Ragnarok, the legendary end of the world, moves one step closer.
Their quest takes them deeper into the unpredictable world of Norse gods, giants, monsters and ancient magic. Magnus is joined by familiar allies including Samirah al-Abbas, Hearthstone and Blitzen, while new characters and dangerous enemies make the mission even more complicated.
And behind everything stands Loki, the trickster god whose plans are never as simple as they first appear.
Rick Riordan combines Norse mythology, fantasy, action and humour with the modern storytelling style that made the Percy Jackson books international bestsellers. Gods and legendary creatures become part of a contemporary adventure filled with strange worlds, impossible challenges and memorable characters.
For readers searching for Rick Riordan books, Norse mythology for kids, books like Percy Jackson, middle-grade fantasy adventures or Viking mythology fiction, Magnus Chase and the Hammer of Thor is an exciting continuation of the series.
As Book 2 of Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard, it continues the adventure begun in The Sword of Summer and leads directly into the trilogy finale, The Ship of the Dead.
