Magnus Chase has always been a troubled kid. Since his mother’s mysterious death, he’s lived alone on the streets of Boston, surviving by his wits, keeping one step ahead of the police and the truant officers.
One day, he’s tracked down by an uncle he barely knows—a man his mother claimed was dangerous. Uncle Randolph tells him an impossible secret: Magnus is the son of a Norse god.

When an attack by fire giants forces him to choose between his own safety and the lives of hundreds of innocents, Magnus makes a fatal decision.
Sometimes, the only way to start a new life is to die . . …

nesse ponto, a escrita do tio rick já tava cristalizada sabe... Magnus Chase é a melhor série de livros dele disparado
It was cute! The main characters are around 16 years old and over, but it read more like a middle grade: friends, a quest and adventures.
Magnus Chase is full of humor but has his moments of heroism, his little gang of friends are also interesting and of course all the nordic mythology is great^^
The book definitely resembles the other series, with the mission to achieve something by the end of the book, the meddling of gods (in a good or bad way), ennemies, monsters, meeting friends, the big battle at the end.. but it was an enjoyable ride!
Was a fun book to listen to with my son. The narrator wasn't great but we still enjoyed the story and will probably continue with the series.
loves the story. the voice actor left something to be desired.
