Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard, Book 3: Ship of the Dead, The-Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard, Book 3 Hardcover – October 3, 2017
Purchase options and add-ons
Magnus Chase, a once-homeless teen, is a resident of the Hotel Valhalla and one of Odin's chosen warriors. As the son of Frey, the god of summer, fertility, and health, Magnus isn't naturally inclined to fighting. But he has strong and steadfast friends, including Hearthstone the elf, Blitzen the dwarf, and Samirah the Valkyrie, and together they have achieved brave deeds, such as defeating Fenris Wolf and battling giants for Thor's hammer, Mjolnir. Now Magnus faces his most dangerous trial yet. His cousin, Annabeth, recruits her boyfriend, Percy Jackson, to give Magnus some pointers, but will his training be enough?
Loki is free from his chains. He's readying Naglfar, the Ship of the Dead, complete with a host of giants and zombies, to sail against the Asgardian gods and begin the final battle of Ragnarok. It's up to Magnus and his friends to stop him, but to do so they will have to sail across the oceans of Midgard, Jotunheim, and Niflheim in a desperate race to reach Naglfar before it's ready to sail.
Along the way, they will face angry sea gods, hostile giants, and an evil fire-breathing dragon. Magnus's biggest challenge will be facing his own inner demons. Does he have what it takes to outwit the wily trickster god?

So Loki’s on the loose and hooked up with the crew of the Ship of the Dead to start Ragnarok. Now, Magnus and every other demi god knows this is coming…. eventually. But not yet- there’s stuff to do. Percy and Magnus’ cousin Annabeth have to be allowed to go to college, Sam has to be allowed to marry her true love, Alex…. has to be allowed to be Alex. To hold off Rangarok and gain a (hopefully long) reprieve, Magnus must cross an ocean, and defeat and imprison Loki- in less than two weeks. On his side we have:
a fasting Valkyrie
a love-sick sword
Four friends from Valhalla two of which are on the off part of their on/off relationship and one who is Loki’s child.
A magical boat that is lovingly referred to as the “Big Banana”
our elf and dwarf friends
a drink of God Spit
a nut
Piece of cake right?
My thoughts:
I love this series! It’s just so outlandish and fun, weaving Norse mythology and adventure. As with all of Riordan’s series ( look here for a full list). I like that the series tie together, though that does mean that you might miss little things if you haven’t read the others. The characters are fantastic and the plot sprints along at break-neck speed. This is a quick, very fun read. Magnus’ series may actually be my favorite to date and it was a fierce competition. Five stars!!!
On the adult content… well there’s obviously violence but this was written for very young teens in mind. I don’t think there’s anything that would be too questionable.
Now, onto the book. I love these characters. I want them all as my friends. Just like I did with Percy and Carter and Sadie and Apollo. So basically, everyone is awesome. Happy sigh.
The actual story: awesome. I mean, duh. Gotta say, the Greek gods are MUCH better at rewarding heroes, but what Magnus ended up doing was super cool and I LOVE it. Speaking of love...Malex forever! Page 262. :) Crazy smile.
Okay, so speaking of crazy smiles, that's all I had on my face these past two days. I read some of this book at school, so hopefully I didn't look too weird. The Ship of the Dead was super cool. Magnus and his friends had to do a bunch of impossible stuff and other kickass things. As always, the various Norse gods, jotun, elves, etc. were present. Good stuff. It made for some humorous and deadly (luckily not to Magnus or his friends) scenes.
This book revealed a lot of backstory on the einherjar. Mallory, Halfborn, T.J. It was heartbreaking, and interesting, and funny. I liked this a lot.
Oh, and WE SAW PERCY!!!!!!!!!! BADABADABADA!!!!!! Ahem. Anyway, something is happening down in New York. At least according to Annabeth at the end of the book. Also, Percy was there, like I said. He has a little sister, Estelle Blofis. :) :) :) Happy sigh. Squeal. Other noises that occur when Percy Jackson appears and is his beautiful self.
So yeah. 5 stars.
The character growth made the story sing like Jack the sword. The constant giant fights did grow a little old. The best part was the will they won’t they, and we were treated (see what I did there) to a chocolatey kiss done in such a way as to be inclusive, exciting, and heart warming.
