MAGNUS CHASE AND THE GODS OF ASGARD
Book Two: The Hammer of Thor
by
Rick Riordan
I recently
reviewed Rick Riordan’s first Magnus Chase book (see review dated September 21,
2017). In preparation for the release of the third and final book of this
trilogy, on October 3, 2017, I read the second book in Riordan’s Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard
series, The Hammer of Thor.
Book two picks up roughly six weeks
after the end of book one, The Sword of
Summer. Although Magnus is settling in at Valhalla, all is not settled.
Thor has once again “misplaced” his hammer. Magnus has been charged with
reuniting the hammer and Thor, and he must do so before the giants realize it
is missing and attack.
As with
Riordan’s other books, this Magnus Chase book is full of adventure, suspense,
interesting characters, and mythological information. As with the others, too,
it is well written and clever. I enjoyed the book and recommend it, although
this is not my favorite of Riordan’s series. I love the crossover between his different
series, however. I think my favorite part of the book was the very last line,
while Magnus was meeting with his cousin, Annabeth. To avoid any spoilers, I
will say no more – but I am definitely looking forward to book three!
