This was a little weird because as far as he remembers his family and everyone else had given up searching for him long back. Things were almost normal for Magnus Chase until another homeless guy, apparently his friend, tells him to run because some people are coming to find him. How could he not, she was his only family? He would rather be homeless than disobey his mother whom he dearly loved even after she was gone. His mother told him to never trust his uncles, ever. Even though Magnus Chase has an extended family, who a little later come in search of him, he does not trust them. So the book begins by introducing a character called Magnus Chase who is almost 16 and has been homeless for almost 2 years now.

It begins with a brief introduction of Magnus Chase, similar to what older readers get in Percy Jackson. Mythology has never interested me but ever since I started reading Rick Riordan I have developed interests in mythology that I didn’t even knew existed. The best part is that it isn’t even boring. Instead, after reading Rick Riordan’s works there is this sense of excitement since whatever is being taught you are already aware of it or most of it. Long gone are the days when a child shows absolutely no interest in their own history class when the teacher talks about Greek or Roman god, or just about any mythology actually. Riordan has a very unique style of writing he is generally famous for his first series, Percy Jackson and the Gods of Olympus, since the age restriction for that series is only 7+. All of his books are equally hilarious and the best quality with the correct mixture of myth and fiction.

It is remarkable how Riordan started from Greek to Roman to Egyptian and now Norse mythology.

After wrapping up his series Heroes of Olympus last year, he is finally back with his new writing based on Norse mythology. Rick Riordan is back with a new mythology, Magnus Chase.
