What was your inspiration for Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard?

Rick Riordan Love, love Norse mythology ever since I was a kid. It's what turned me into a reader. I've had the idea for Magnus for almost ten years.

How old is Percy Jackson now?

Anaaa Ț
Anaaa Ț asked Rick Riordan:

Do you think that, when trying to create a story, it is more important to first be somewhat sure of the outline of the world and the plot before starting to shape the characters, or rather the other way round? Also, thank you for having chosen to tell your stories to the whole world. I am deeply thankful.

Brock Stansfield
Brock Stansfield asked Rick Riordan:

So, based on certain happenings and phrases used, it seems pretty heavily implied even if not intentionally so that Percy could potentially control blood, or even all liquids if pushed to that point, my question is, could he if actually pushed far enough? Thank you.
