About this ebook

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

I have been a long time fan of Riordans books but the new direction he's gone has left a bad taste in my mouth. It's become a platform for him to push his political agenda and I'm not here to read about what Riordan believes in. I'm here to read about mythology and it's becoming less and less about that with every new book he releases. There was 3 pages that focused solely on transgenders and added absolutely nothing to the story. Those weren't the only parts either, just the part that actual made me stop reading the book and delete it from my online book library.

I like the overall story and since i paid for it im going to finish it but i will not be paying for any of the other books because i do not like the introduction of the transgender character or how he goes on long rants about Islam. It's not that im agenst these topics but when i read fantasy books its because im looking to escape the real world for a while, not be reminded of it.

I liked the sample, so I went ahead and bought the book, but it is telling me I have to allow cookies on the website. I allowed the cookies, but it is telling me the same thing. How do I read it online??
