About this ebook

Magnus Chase, a once-homeless teen, is a resident of the Hotel Valhalla and one of Odin's chosen warriors. As the son of Frey, the god of summer, fertility, and health, Magnus isn't naturally inclined to fighting. But he has strong and steadfast friends, including Hearthstone the elf, Blitzen the dwarf, and Samirah the Valkyrie, and together they have achieved brave deeds, such as defeating Fenris Wolf and battling giants for Thor's hammer, Mjolnir. Now Magnus faces his most dangerous trial yet. His cousin, Annabeth, recruits her boyfriend, Percy Jackson, to give Magnus some pointers, but will his training be enough? Loki is free from his chains. He's readying Naglfar, the Ship of the Dead, complete with a host of giants and zombies, to sail against the Asgardian gods and begin the final battle of Ragnarok. It's up to Magnus and his friends to stop him, 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. Along the way, they will face angry sea gods, hostile giants, and an evil fire-breathing dragon. Magnus's biggest challenge will be facing his own inner demons. Does he have what it takes to outwit the wily trickster god?

Ratings and reviews

love this author, but felt like this book and its ending was rushed to the presses without much true thought...drawn out and pretty bad.

I read it at home with the actual book and stayed up until 10:00 or longer because I couldn't put it down! I love the characters in the book and the adventures that they go on! I recommend that everyone reads this book, even if they're still very young, like me and my friends. I loved it and I also recommend the other 2 books out. I'm a big fan and love Rick's work. 😀😀😀When's the next book coming out? I was super relieved when Magnus Chase breasted his mission and I like how Rick puts two series together by Percy, A nnabeth, and Magnus. It made me want to cry! 😥😥😥

All of his books areamazing so I'm really excited about this one.I can hardly wait to see what happens and If Percy Jackson and Magnus Chase will get allong.So exciting!!! (I HIGHLY recommed this author to my brother and got him to read "The Lighting Thief" and now he can't stop reading this guy's books.And he used to HATE reading.)This author is that amazing.
