About this audiobook

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.

Ratings and reviews

GREAT book. But WHY DOES THE READER ALWAYS CHANGE WITH EVERY BOOK. I liked the last guy. i haven't heard this guy but it's going to take some getting used to. I have heard bad things about the third book READER so I am NOT anxious for that. but the things I do for a good Rick Riordan book. new Ok, I like his voice. if you want a slower book to fall asleep to, change speed to 0.75 or 1.0.

this is a great sorry if you want a 10 hour lecture on gender politics and what it's like to be trans/gender fluid. just another story ruined by idiotic wokeness

I like Kieran's voice, and it doesn't sound monotone :D Unlike *cough* Michael Crouch *cough*
