I remember reading this back in 2015 and thinking that there were a few parts that felt quite long. I did not feel so this time through. As a whole, I enjoyed myself a lot more than I thought, maybe because I vaguely new what I was getting into. I had some laugh out loud moments and I really enjoyed Magnus' voice. Last time, I wasn't that keen on reading on, this time, I am actually really looking forward to finishing the series. A very entertaining read!

What’s the story of Magnus Chase about? Magnus Chase, a 16 year old kid who has lost his mother in a fire two years ago, now lives on the streets of Boston. He’s afraid of wolves because they kind of were included in the fire, but that can’t be right – wolves? In the middle of Boston? During his homeless time he has not only learned some valuable street-smart tricks but also got friendly with the blind homeless man Hearthstone and the equally homeless man Blitzen. They look after Magnus and basically keep him alive. One day Magnus finds out that his uncle and his cousin, Fredrick and Annabeth Chase, are looking for him. Magnus, not really happy about this since family means trouble and he already has enough of that, sneaks into his other uncle’s, Randolph’s, house and gets surprised by mentioned. Randolph tries to explain to him something, but time runs out and both move on to one Boston bridge whereas Magnus resurrects the Sword of Summer. The fire god Surt appears and kills Magnus. Magnus lands in Valhalla. Read my full review at https://blattzirkus.wordpress.com/2016/02/16/review-magnus-chase-and-the-sword-of-summer/ :)
