Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard : Hammer of Thor - Rick Riordan

The Hammer of Thor - Rick Riordan

I did not find it as interesting as the first one (Sword of Summer) ... Some places it seemed like that the story was just dragging on... I felt that there was too much of details from the previous book of the series  which was the reason for the drag. The storyline didn't get me hooked. But still I want to read the next book of the series - Ship of the dead. Why????
(Spoiler Alert: Towards the end of the book, when Magnus is talking with Annabeth, she tells that its time for Magnus to meet Percy. ) Hence I'm waiting eagerly for the release of the next book in the series. In the mean time, I will jump of to read "Trials of Apollo"

Sword of Summer - Rick Riordan

It had been almost a year since I read a book. One of my students, Kavin (who knows I love reading and that I love Rick's books) asked me whether I finished the Magnus Chase series and have I started reading the Apollo series... Needless to say, having not been in touch with the reading world, I did not know what he was talking about. But he piqued my interest. I went home and looked for means of getting my hands on one of these books and I succeeded. And I embarked on the Viking journey along with Magnus....

Rick has a wonderful way of telling stories when it comes to mythological ones. Magnus Chase series is also as interesting as the books of Percy Jackson or Jason Grace. Once you start reading you can't stop reading. I scolded my student lovingly for getting me hooked on to books again!!!

It was a very good read!!! Waiting to finish reading the next book - Hammer of Thor!!!
