Does this really add much to the overall Magnus Chase/Norse world? Not particularly. But was it tons of fun? Heck yes. Can't wait to jump into the second book now!

This is an somewhat interesting edition to the Magnus Chase saga as it adds context one how Rick Riordan is choosing to use Norse mythology in his works, but also it doesn’t truly add much if the reader knows about the mythology already. It’s not a story as much as the other spin off books are.

Always the best from Rick Riordan. The perfect guide for all your Norse mythology questions. Loved it!

This was fiiine it just didn’t feel that special to me.
As an example, there weren’t any colorful character pages which other guidebooks have had. That would’ve been cool.

ALSO he uses different names for Norse beings in this book and in the normal series which seems like it should be an easy fix, and yet it wasn’t caught.

Cheio de piadocas, mas disso a gente já sabia

Os livros do tio Rick sempre seguem a mesma lógica, e eu amo isso

Mas é sempre muito legal ver que ele se preocupa em diversificar e atualizar a escrita e os temas

Dito isso, as melhores partes são as piadocas e tiradas de tiozão que ele tem

Esse foi um livro curtinho, mas cheio de piadas e trocadilhos dignos do universo Riordan
