Magnus Chase And The Gods Of Asgard Summary
The book I am writing about is Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard by Rick Riordan. I am writing this to provide my opinion. I personally love this author. He is one of my favorite authors and I have read most of his books before this one. I am in love with this story so far. I haven’t finished reading it though. He gives so much thought into his character and the plot is full of little turns that keep you on your feet.
One of the reasons I love this book is because it is well written. The plot involves Viking Gods and many viking mythical creatures. The plot starts out with Magnus Chase as a homeless teenager, living on the streets of Boston with his two homeless friends, Blitz and Hearth. He stumbles upon his uncle that he hates, but his uncle is trying to help him find the Sword of Summer. Magnus doesn’t know what the Sword of Summer is or where it could be. He soon figures out when he raises it out of the river. Even with the help of his friends and having the sword, the fire giant, Surt, kills him. He is taken to the land of the dead warriors, Valhalla. He was brought there by the Valkyrie, Samirah

These friend have one another's back and help out as much as possible. For example, Blitzen was threatened by death when getting in a duel of crafting. Once they figured out he couldn’t craft, Sam used her shape shifting skills to mess up his opponent. She shape shifted into a horse fly and bit the opponent multiple times. She did this just for Blitzen even though she hates shape shifting.
With all of these components, it pulls together a great book to read. Rick Riordan has once again created a wonderful book that makes for a great read. This magnificent book has something that everyone can relate to. I would rate 4.5 out of 5 stars because it is a great story in general. I encourage you to read it. If my opinion doesn't’ encourage you to read it, I hope that one day you’ll read it if you love

    I Loved this book, Trent Reedy wrote with such a style that transported you into the story. The author also did a great job with characterization, He wrote about one main character but he also highly developed the secondary characters such as Jobell, Cal, Sparrow, Sweeny, and Kemp. Another thing the author did…

    In this book, the main character had to go through a lot of internal and external conflicts throughout the book. Some of the internal conflicts the main character, Alex, had to face include keeping his mental strength that allowed him and his two sisters to stay alive. Some external conflicts include how Alex had to deal with his two sisters and make them do what he says since he was the next in charge of the family after their parents are gone and his older brother, Carlos, in the marines. I personally dont like the ending of the book. Why does Alex sister, Brianna, have to die? My favorite character in this book is Kevin. Even though Kevin died at a part in this book, he was a thoughtful person for Alex. Kevin always gave Alex food that he didnt need and helped him get one more bag of food at the food line every morning. After reading this book, I learned that making more friends will make a lot of difference once you are stuck in a difficult situation. I will recommend this book to any people that are interested in catastrophic situation.…

    It had humor, real life events, sadness, and suspense. I would most definitely recommend this novel to someone because although it’s very long, you won’t want to stop reading it. This book will make you wonder, cry, even laugh. It’s a book that I think had great meaning and was put together very well. In my opinion, there is no flaws about this book except how long it is.…

    I would rate this book 3.5 stars out of 5. The lack of establishing conflicts throughout the novel was disappointing. However, I would still recommend this novel to others as it covers a very important issue and teaches readers what it feels like to be in the shoes of a refugee. Do not expect an incredibly exciting or sad story, because that is not what The Bone Sparrow…

    I. Grendel by John Gardner tells the story of a beast-like creature, Grendel, who is portrayed as a monstrous, violent, and cruel animal. Grendel is generally given names, referred to as the evil spawn of Cain, and even viewed as a monster. Yet, Grendel shares the same language as humans do, to try to identify and explore human nature. His curiosity leads him to examine the Danes develop into human civilization. One clan in particular becomes the most powerful, the leader being Hrothgar. He is inspired by the Shaper, a human poet whose words alter the world and inspire others, and tries to become a member of humanity yet finds himself placed against frightened men. This leads Grendel to visit a dragon that which casts a spell on him where he is impervious to weapons. The dragon’s words of wisdom make Grendel believe life is meaningless and he immediately returns to the mead hall and slaughters all men. He becomes revengeful, though remains haunted by the Shaper's remarks. While attacking many, he encounters a priest, which leads Grendel to consideration and observations on religion. He also experiences the death of the Shaper whom he gave much thought to. In the end, Beowulf arrives to the land of Scyldings, slays Grendel by ripping off his arm and brings peace to the lands among the Danes.…
