Description
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.

LOVE IT!!
5By hbdJbchljdbcfljyabfcaouSo I have stuck with Rick through Percy Jackson, Heroes of Olympus, Trials of Apollo, Magnus Chase, and the Sun and the Star. Can I just say I love this book. Once Alex got into the book, she was immediately my fav character. I hate how people think it’s weird or wrong for people to be gender-fluid and I think that Rick does a great job at acknowledging everyone. He includes people under the LGBQT+ flag, people with disabilities like Hearthstone, and people from deferent cultures in his other booksALEX AND MAGNUS
5By SokeefeForever:)♥️🧡💛💚💙💜 To all the people who are complaining about Alex being gender fluid: It’s just the way that people work. Alex switches genders, gay people exist, love is love. Being gender fluid is a real world thing that needs to be acknowledged. Alex’s experience has just show how hard it can be growing up being told “This is who you are. You stay that way.You have one gender, and it’s the one you were born with“ It’s not ok that people act like being gender fluid is bad. Please don’t be like that. It makes me sick to see people hating on Alex because of their gender.Love it

5By glizzy clanI liked all my of the adventures and twists and I am a big fan of Rick. I read all his series of Percy and the hero’s of Olympus so I know when he tries to entertain us with all the gods.This book is sooooo goood!
5By readergirlHARRYPOTTER!It is amazing!This. Story. Though.
5By CallMiiDaddiiI’m living for this... and honestly I have a feeling Rick deliberately made a gender fluid character to ward off those of you who would judge an entire series (or several series depending from which angle you look at it), OR... and just hear me out... OR he’s trying to humanize trans, gender fluid, and non-binary persons for you and you’re acting like a child who just got told no. Sticking your fingers in your ears and going *la la la I can’t hear you* (iykyk)Response to those calling it: trying too hard to be pc.
5By what the doge?It’s not political in any way to show the existence of transgender and gender fluid individuals. It’s just having a character, giving them something different to mark them before character development, then having fun developing them. It shouldn’t be political to be trans or gender fluid, it should just be a thing about the character showing that these people exist.it also helps to make sure kids aren’t transphobic. If a kid is introduced to gender fluid they might go, “eww,” bc they don’t understand. They would go, “oh that’s cool,” bc they saw a character they admired that was like that. Also, if you think that Norse mythology doesn’t have genderqueer people is clearly an idiot. Look it up, they’re all over the place. Guys, gals, and non binary pals, beirdos and werdios, friends and enemies, say it with me: GENDER ISN’T POLITICS ITS BEING WHO YOU ARE. Good day, sirEhh
