A Worthy Sequel to the First Book -The Sword Of Summer (This a is a link to the first Book's review).
This Book is especially quintessential to the mythological fanatics. It tingles the imagination of the readers further than they can even dream,to the extent of making them believe that Norse Gods roamed the Earth.
The book is suitable for kids above 12 years of age. The Book is a masterpiece, one of the most irresistible creations of Rick Riordan.
The book throws light on the life of our hero Magnus Chase and his bunch of friends ,i.e., Samirah al Abbas, the reinstated Valkyrie , Blitzen , the Dwarf, and Hearthstone , the Elf. It commences six weeks after the First Book has ended.
Magnus is completely unaware of the happenings in the outside world (the Real Nine Worlds), outside Valhalla. Unexpectedly Sam ( Samirah) drops a message that she wanted to talk a matter of Life and Death with him. They are expecting an informant, who will explain the whole situation to Magnus. But Samirah receives a message to deliver a soul to the Hall of Heroes- Valhalla.
This leaves Magnus realizes that the informant , Holy Goat , is Otis ,the goat, who with his Brother Marvin serves as Thor's Chariot Puller as well as his dinner. Otis delivers to him the disturbing information that Thor's Hammer Mjolnir, the mightiest Force in the Nine Worlds, is missing again and they want them to find it.
An ax goes thwack through Otis's neck as Magnus notices a masked person running away from the scene. Who is this person and what does he want? Why does he advise Magnus not to go to Provincetown as the Goat had suggested?
Magnus is further irritated by the fact that a person Alex Fierro arrives in Valhalla and not only punches Samirah but also Helgi,the formidable manager of Hotel Valhalla.
When Magnus hears about the proposed marriage of Samirah to a Giant in exchange of Thor's Hammer , he is outraged by the sheer dumbness of the plan. But this is indeed the creation of Loki, the God of Evil.
What will Magnus do to stop Loki from achieving his motive? Will Magnus succeed in saving Sam from this forced marriage? Who is this mysterious goat killer? What role Alex Fierro, the child of Loki play?
