YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

Magnus Chase, a once-homeless teen, is a resident of the Hotel Valhalla and one of Odin's chosen warriors. As the son of Frey, the god of summer, fertility, and health, Magnus isn't naturally inclined to fighting. But he has strong and steadfast friends, including Hearthstone the elf, Blitzen the dwarf, and Samirah the Valkyrie, and together they have achieved brave deeds, such as defeating Fenris Wolf and battling giants for Thor's hammer, Mjolnir. Now Magnus and his crew must sail to the farthest borders of Jotunheim and Niflheim in pursuit of Asgard's greatest threat. Will they succeed in their perilous journey, or is Ragnarok lurking on the horizon?

Great!

Maybe i find the book somewhere before my copy gets to me :)

Chapter 2
(view spoiler)[You know, we shouldn't be surprised that Percy's sword is female. It was given by Zoe, after all. Now if we could hear what it think, just once... (hide spoiler)]

You already started? so unfair :( :( :( :(
i want to *crying in the corner*
mine will be here in the next 1-3 WEEKS!!!!


unfair :(


But good for you :) hope the book is awesome:)

It's really good so far. I got the e-book as soon as I woke up this morning (I'm not very patient). I hope you get yours soon.

Chapter 22
(view spoiler)[Why? Why would you do this, uncle Rick? Haven't you put him through enough? Now he's got to meet his father AGAIN? (hide spoiler)]

From Chapter 2 to 22? it really seems to be a great book :)

Yeah, I haven't done a BR in a couple months so commenting slips my mind but at the end of chapter 22, some happened that I needed to say something about.

I'm going to the library today so hopefully I will find a copy :)

I found a copy! I have a couple other books to read before this but I' hoping to start next week :)

Chapter 28
(view spoiler)[He can talk to animals! Yes! Now if we could just get him, Percy and a horse or some sea animals in the same room... (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 39
(view spoiler)[I kinda wish someone has reminded Magnus that's he's drinking blood/godly spit. His reaction would have been hilarious. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 43
(view spoiler)[I'm kinda surprised that Loki was actually mean. I mean, I know that was the game but uncle Rick, even with his insults, never writes something that might be hurtful. Loki took me off gaurd a little. (hide spoiler)]

my order was canceled :( no book for me :( maybe i'll find it somewhere...

Why did they cancel it?? :(

I have to get through Fireblood and then I'll read this!

i ordered it some weeks ago and first it was: 5-7 days, then it was 5-7 weeks and today came a mail that says that they don't have it.
great amazon :(

I've just finish Magnus Chase 3rd book.. And it is AWESOME!

I will be starting tomorrow! So excited :D

Ch. 7 (view spoiler)[ Definitely have a very bad feeling about this quest. I'm glad all my fav characters are going to be there. And I wonder if anything will develop between Alex and Magnus- definitely something there in the last book. Who are these strange watery women?? (hide spoiler)]

Ch. 15 (view spoiler)[ Oh boy I have a feeling Hearth is going back to his father's place to get his other rune. I feel so bad for him :( Njord was an interesting dude as well. And I liked watching Alex and Magnus help Sam train. (hide spoiler)]

Ch. 23 (view spoiler)[ I'm not happy about Hearth having to face his family again. I hope he does take his rune back, I think he's going to need it. That battle with the giant was intense, I'm glad neither TJ nor Alex were hurt badly. Interested to find out how everything will happen (hide spoiler)]

Ch. 30 (view spoiler)[ OMG Frigg is Mallory's mother! Dang wow. This is kind of crazy, but also awesome! I hate Hearth's father, he is horrible. I wonder if anything else will happen to Magnus since he tasted the dragon's blood. (hide spoiler)]

Ch. 40 (view spoiler)[ Oh gods I'm so nervous for all of them! But Alex and Magnus kissed YAS <3 I love it!! I'm shipping them so hard, probably about as much as Sam. I loved that she made Alex and Magnus hold hands for a bit while they were invisible. It was great. And Skadi was pretty cool, haha couldn't help myself with the pun. (hide spoiler)]

Finished! (view spoiler)[ I'm so glad they didn't die at the end! And Magnus's flyting was awesome!!! And I love the idea of the Chase Space. BUT I NEED TO KNOW WHATS HAPPENING TO PERCY AND ANNABETH!!! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 2 (view spoiler)[ PERCY!! I love Percy and I love seeing how cute Percy and Annabeth are!!! I've missed them (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 4 (view spoiler)[ I love Magnus and Alex, and I love their flirting. It's totally flirting! (hide spoiler)]

I do love these books and the diversity in the Magnus Chase series VS the Percy Jackson series, but does anyone find the amount of humour a little off-putting?

I also LOVE Blitzen and Hearthstone, but I really wish they weren't played at the comic relief so much of the time.

45% (view spoiler)[ Alex's pottery is actually coming into play! This is so awesome. Needs more Alex. (hide spoiler)]

Done (view spoiler)[ Alex + Magnus This was a wild ride. Also I cannot believe how nuts this book was. It was interesting to see the incorporation of Ramadan in the book (hide spoiler)]
