Magnus Chase is a book that was written by Rick Riordan. The plot follows a kid called Magnus Chase who was homeless. He finds out that he is the son of a Norse God. He died an honorable death and was sent to Valhalla, the afterlife for heroes in Norse mythology. With his friends, he must find a weapon called the Sword of Summer to save the world.
I enjoyed the book and thought it was entertaining. Although, I personally didn't like it as much as Rick Riordan's other books like Percy Jackson or Heroes of Olympus. It was a bit jarring transitioning from Greek mythology which I read a lot about in 5th grade to Norse mythology which I wasn't as knowledgeable in. I would give it an 8 out of 10 which is poor compared to Rick Riordan's standards.
Hi Rishi! I also remember enjoying Magnus Chase, but not as much as his other works. Your review was accurate and to the point!
ReplyDeleteHey Rishi! Great review. I enjoyed reading it and learning a bit about Greek mythology. I will definitely make an effort to read it in the future.
ReplyDeleteHello Rishi! I used to read most of Rick Riordan's books, and for some reason I never read this one series. It might have been because I was also used to Greek and Roman mythology, but reading this review gives me a new perspective on Norse mythology.
ReplyDeleteGood review Wishi! I have read Magnus Chase too, and you hit the nail with your last sentence, as while it was good, Riordan's other works, like Percy Jackson, are superior.
ReplyDeleteI have never gotten into the Magnus Chase series, largely because I thought it strayed to far from the usual mythology from some of his other books, but you make this book sound more worthwhile than I was giving it credit.
