This book “The Hammer of Thor” is the second book in the Magnus Chase series written by Rick Riordan. This series is based on Norse mythology not Greek mythology which means it's quite different from Riordans previous works which were all…

The Hammer of Thor, the second book in the Magnus Chase series, certainly did not let me down. Thor’s hammer has fallen into the wrong hands, and it’s Magnus Chase’s (and his friends’) goal to retrieve it before the enemy wreaks havoc. The…

Favorite character: Alex. Honestly she's so amazing, he loves making pottery, genderfluid, I love the representation.
Rick Riordon. Such a great author.

The Hammer of Thor is the second installment in Rick Riordan’s series, Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard. Similarly to the first book, I strongly believe that this is an amazing read. After the events of the last book, Magnus has found a…

With the first book explaining the complexities of the nine worlds and new Norse gods, the sequel hits its stride with an exciting storyline carried out by a familiar cast of characters. Readers get to jump right into meeting one of Thor's…

The second book in the Magnus Chase series is filled with humor, plot twists, and the great Norse Gods, which will leave your fingers sparking (with electricity) for more. In addition to the headstrong gender-fluid Alex, Magnus and his…

Great second installment! The character development in particular is superb, and I love the way Riordan wrote Alex. Magnus' confusion about gender fluidity allows the reader to be confused as well without feeling guilty about it, but…

I thought the book overall was a cliche. As a Rick Riordan fan, this book was not the best compared to the other stories. Believe me when I say that I've read nearly every one of his book's. When I read the first novel in the series, it…

Nope, this book, or any of Rick's works, is seen to me as cliché.
Mythology/Creatures: Norse gods and goddesses, valkeries, mundanes, and einherjars.
Romance:★★★★☆ (3.5)

SOOO...
(Not really about MC, but...) WHY aren't there any female characters on the cover?
ie, PERCY JACKSON and the Olympians, MAGNUS CHASE and the gods of Asgard, etc.
At least SADIE'S a big character, but it's not SADIE KANE and the…

It was just as good a The first book and had more of my favorite characters (Hearthstone and Loki) I finished it in a day and now I've got my younger brother reading it! I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes Norse mythology.

It was interesting to see character development take more of the forefront in this novel. The development of Alex, Samirah, and Hearth, in particular, took the spotlight in quite a few scenes.…
