Magnus Chase has seen his share of trouble. Ever since that terrible night two years ago when his mother told him to run, he has lived alone on the streets of Boston, surviving by his wits, staying one step ahead of the police and the truant officers.
One day, Magnus learns that someone else is trying to track him down—his uncle Randolph, a man his mother had always warned him about. When Magnus tries to outmaneuver his uncle, he falls right into his clutches. Randolph starts rambling about Norse history and Magnus's birthright: a weapon that has been lost for thousands of years.
The more Randolph talks, the more puzzle pieces fall into place. Stories about the gods of Asgard, wolves, and Doomsday bubble up from Magnus's memory. But he doesn't have time to consider it all before a fire giant attacks the city, forcing him to choose between his own safety and the lives of hundreds of innocents. . . .
Sometimes, the only way to start a new life is to die.

I love you and Thanks to you for writing some of the Best books that i read in my Life UNCLE RICK
Just because it's Rick Riordan, this book gets an automatic 5 stars. To be honest, it wasn't my favorite book by him that I've read, but it was still classic Rick Riordan. The entire thing was hilarious, especially the chapter titles, and full of action and learning. I also thoroughly enjoyed the few moments in which we got to see Annabeth and hope future books have more of her in it. Also, the few nudges that we get to Riordan's other book series made me smile.
É bom.
logo resumirei meus pensamentos sobre isso.
Pois bem (agora escrevendo livremente num teclado \o/): logo quando comecei Magnus Chase a “voz” da personagem me lembrou muito Percy Jackson, numa versão mais ácida de garoto de rua. Os títulos de cada capítulo fizeram pensar o quanto Rick Riordan realmente acredita em seu fandom fiel que lerá qualquer coisa que ele imaginar escrever (além das menções a série dos heróis do olimpo e a série dos olimpianos).
A linguagem também. Tive a impressão que não é destinado nem a um público muito teen nem a YA... ficou um pouco perdido entre ambos.
Gostei muito das personagens Sam, Hearth e Blitz são bem construídos (apenas o comportamento deles em relação a Magnus, principalmente de Blitz chamando o povo de 16 anos de “garoto” sendo que ele mesmo tem 20), e cativam muito, em especial Hearth. Até mesmo os secundários como T.J., X (!!!!!! gente, o que foi aquilo?), Mestiço, Mallory (não gostei muito dela) tem suas personalidades.
A releitura dos Deuses foi muito inusitada, principalmente para as mentes manipuladas por Marvel e assim por diante.
A história em si é um pouco arrastada, muitos eventos que aconteceram.... acho que poderia ter passado sem.
Enfim, espero que a série melhore e surpreenda.
