Title: Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard
On-Sale: October 6, 2015
Description: 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’s never met—a man his mother claimed was dangerous. His uncle tells him an impossible secret: Magnus is the son of a Norse god. The Viking myths are true. The gods of Asgard are preparing for war. Trolls, giants, and worse monsters are stirring for doomsday. To prevent Ragnarök, Magnus must search the Nine Worlds for a weapon that has been lost for thousands of years. 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 . . .

I honestly don’t know any Norse myths but I would definitely love to learn some!
Definitely Thor!
Honestly the only Asgardian I’m familiar with is Thor. I love his character and the myth of Thor. Also I am obsessed with Marvel and I love his character in those movies!
I’m fascinated by anything that is related to Ragnarok and I find Old Norse such a fascinating language but I still need to study Norse Mythology more!!
I haven’t read any Norse myths before! 😀
The Valkyries and Odin and the Raven….
I’m not familiar with any Norse myths but hopefully this book will change that 🙂
I’m actually not overly familiar with the Norse myths themselves, but have heard of some of the Norse gods like Loki and Thor.
My favorite is Odin will do anything for wisdom, and once sacrificed his eye.
Not familiar with any…yet! 🙂
I don’t really know any Norse myths but I can’t wait to learn some!

I don’t have a favorite Norse myth, I don’t really know any. The only little bit I know I read in the the Iron Druid chronicles.

My favorite Norse myth is Thor
Loki and the Dwarves!

I don’t really know much about Norse mythology but I’ve heard of Thor and Loki. I can’t wait to learn more!
My favorite Norse mythology would have to be the one about the creation of the world, where the dead, giant Ymir became the earth. Each part of his body was changed into a new part of nature (his bones became the mountains).
I love anything with Loki in it!:D
Thor!! Love the movie and the myth!
Thor and Loki are my favorite so far!
Loki for sure!
Thor!
The fortification of asgard
