The Sword Of Summer Chapter Summary
Magnus Chase and the gods of Asgard : The sword of Summer by Rick Riordan
Performance Task: Book Review
The novel isn’t like most of Uncle Rick’s (Rick Riordan) work. You see in this book, the main protagonist dies on the first chapters. I guess living characters are getting too mainstream for Uncle Rick. And this new series is also related to Uncle Rick’s books since the main character, Magnus Chase is the cousin of Annabeth Chase, daughter of the Greek goddess Athena. The main character and love interest of Percy Jackson in The Percy Jackson and the Olympians series and the Heroes of Olympus series.
Magnus Chase and the gods of Asgard : The sword of Summer is an action, fiction, adventure story. Like Uncle Rick’s previous other book series where the setting revolves around Greek mythology in the PJO and HoO series and Egyptian mythology in the Kane …show more content…
Chronicles. And of course, the main character is a young adolescent having these unique powers with a very hilariously sassy attitude but with a brave heart.
The story begins where Magnus Chase living in the streets for a couple of years after his mom was killed by wolves, living with him were two short homeless men who were actually his protectors.
One was a dwarf and one was an elf.
Then one day, he’s tracked down by a man he’s never met—a man his mother claimed was dangerous. Then reveals he was a demigod, a child of both mortal and god, which he was skeptical at first but then accepts it later. Anyway he then claimed the Sword of Summer which was lost for thousands of years, the sword of summer, which was originally his father’s Frey, god of fertility, summer, wealth, rain, and Lord of Alfheim.
When an attack by fire giants forces him to choose between his own safety and the lives of hundreds of innocents, Magnus makes a fatal decision. Where in Magnus dies. Not like your average story eh. But he was resurrected, by a Valkyrie, a fierce female warrior in Norse Mythology which in my opinion are a lot alike in the PJO and HoO, the Hunter of Artemis and the Amazons. The Valkyrie’s name was Samirah Al-Abbas, Sam for
short.
So Sam sent Magnus to another world, a world for fallen heroes who will fight as warriors for Odin in Ragnarok, or their version of Apocalypse. Which is a lot alike Camp Half-blood and Camp Jupiter in again the PJO and HoO series.
Trouble went down, and it was up to Magnus and his new found friends to save from unleashing the Fenris Wolf from destroying the work and prevent Ragnarok from happening. So like Uncle Rick’s previous novels, they have to go on a quest.
I’m not that surprised that most of his novels are kind of the similar and related to each other, after all, they were written by the same author afterall. But overall the novel was good and it really is worth recommending it to anyone who wants to learn more about Norse Mythology in a modern way. This novel will surely give you laughs and giggles, and anxiety to what would happen next. Overall, if it I were to rate it from 1 to 10, I’d rate it 11.
