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 Ragnarok, 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 . . .
Hmm... wait. What was that last part again?

Great message there, Rick! Because death is obviously a reset button. Right? Yea.
So... Yea um lets just go to the review part.
I think we pretty much know at this point that Annabeth Chase has to be related to Magnus Chase, cousin or brother? I have no idea. But... hm... lets look at the clues. Magnus Chase has always been a troubled kid, I smell a demigod... Maybe he'll meet with Percy Jackson! But wait- this seems vaguely familiar...
It's on the tip of my tongue... What was it called again? Hmmm...
I'll probably remember it later...
But in all seriousness, I feel like The Sword of Summer will be turned into a crossover, maybe the Latin/Greek/Egyptian/Norse Demigods will all come together and like- I don't know, inspire countless Fanfictions, maybe? Honestly, to end this my last statement is this: This was a really good choice on Rick's part. With this he will be able to even make a whole new series with all of the different demigods coming together to defeat a common enemy. Like The Heroes Of Olympus series, the Latin and Greek demigods came together to fight a common enemy, and I can't wait for the book Magnus Chase and The Sword of Summer to come out, and I hope you can't wait either...
Wait- 10/06/15 ?!!?1?
-M (Btw, comment if you want less/more/no gifs, I added them in to see what you guys thought.).
Gifs are cool, but y dos the font keep changing???
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting, and about the fonts, I honestly don't know why it's changing like that. I tried fixing it but nothing seems to be working. Sorry about that, I'm working on fixing it right now as we speak.
DeleteIf you wanna know how Magnus and Annabeth are related look here:
ReplyDeleteIn the Blood Of Olymous, Annabth is thinking about all the people she hasn't touched in her life. It went along the lines of this: Oh yeah, i have a cousin and an uncle, but we don't see them much...
OH MY GODS...
MAGNUS!!!!
THAT LIVES IN BOSTON... bum bum buummm SMELLS LIKE MAGNUS, NO?
DeleteNo Duh
Deletelol rick riordan EMAILED ME THE 1ST paragraph and no spoilers but if u really want it email me at bigbird@gmail.com
Delete- magnus chase is....
I went on the wikepedia site and it says Magnus's uncles name is... wait for it... FREDRICK CHASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's Annabeth's dad!
DeleteBut Magnus's dad is a god and Annabeth said uncle not aunt so like ????
DeleteLove the poll, "Teh Kane chronicals survival" hehehehe
ReplyDeleteI think James said who he thinks magnus is before he left (in one of the last posts) - the blood of Olympus said Annabeth has cousins in BOSTON and magnus lives in BOSTON
ReplyDeleteHey, So I'm also thinking that Magnus and Annabeth will be related because when she mentioned a uncle and cousin in Boston that's exactly where this book is taking place. I feel like this could be a crossover if they are related to each other. It would be so cool!
ReplyDeleteI agree I think that Annabeth and Magnus are related, I hope that Annabeth will be mentioned at some point in the new series.
DeleteFarewell,
Luz
this has been bothering me....... . will there be a third part to this son of sobek and staff of serapis or will it be in in this norse series?
ReplyDeletewhatever it is ......I WANT MORE PERCY!!!
Yes there is its where Annabeth Percy and Kane and sad die all join up cool eh?
DeleteThe Crown of Ptolemy!
DeleteI'm pretty sure Magnus and Annabeth are cousins because it says in BOO that Annabeth has an uncle and a cousin living in Boston, and Magnus lives in Boston. But, in the preview it says Magnus's dad is a Norse GOD. So, Mr. Chase's brother is a Norse God. Then, is Mr. Chase involved with Norse Myths? If he is, then Annabeth might have Norse and Greek blood!
ReplyDeleteMaybe Magnus's uncle is related to him by his mom. Then Annabeth's dad would be related to Magnus's uncle and Magnus's mother a.k.a. brothers and sisters. In Blood of Olympus Annabeth said her dad said was in a quarrel with the uncle. Maybe the quarrel is about Magnus's mom death.
DeleteSo they are cousin just not by the uncle but instead the mom.
Deletemaybe his mom is his uncle
DeleteAnnabeth mentioned in the Blood of Olympus that she had a cousin and uncle in Boston. Magnus lives in Boston! I think Annabeth and Magnus are cousins
ReplyDeleteHey,
ReplyDeleteNice post, I didn't really want to read the next series about Magnas Chase, but after reading this post I'm really looking forward to it.
Good job,
Luz
I'm really looking forward to reading this. Rick is literally the best author ever :)
ReplyDeleteExactly!!!
DeleteI will read and reread and cry my heart out when it comes out... Thank you Rick for ruining my life. I love you so much
ReplyDeleteum guyz i think mr chase's only has a sister in boston so its not possible that mr chase and annabeth has norse blood
ReplyDeletethink annabeth might be in these stories or be mentonied
ReplyDeleteno athena left annabeths dad, and then he remarried. Mqybe magnus is from the mothers side. Ever think of that? And if it is true, then Annabeths little brothers might have norse blood. That would complicate the series even more, just like something rick riordan would do. What do you guys think? *sorry for bad grammar
ReplyDeleteRemember that Annabeth's step mother and step brothers hated her? that could be a clash of ancient blood lines, like the Greeks and the Romans.
Deleteexcept their names wouldn't be chase...
Deletecomments please?
ReplyDeleteMagnus Chase:
ReplyDeleteSame last name as Annabeth
The uncle that claims him is Federick Chase, which is Annabeth's father (Wikipedia)
In the Blood of Olympus, Annabeth says that she has a cousin and uncle in Boston that she wished she knew better
Magnus lives in Boston
Coincidence? I think not.
I just found out the official release date! But OCTOBER?! WHY?!!!!!!! DARN IT, RIORDAN!
ReplyDeleteNah, I take that back, he's amazing. I'm just so super excited for this!!
But how awkward that I just started writing a story last year about Norse Gods, and then suddenly Blood of Olympus is out, and Magnus Chase is announced... I feel like I'm stealing ideas or something... Ah well...
I wonder if he'll do a PJ/MC crossover, like he did with Kane Chronicles. Either way, I have a feeling that a lot of fanfictions are about to be unleashed on an unsuspecting world....
PS. I love the Doctor Who GIF!! Well, they were all pretty good- that last pretty much describes my reaction to the release date perfectly. Hahaha! Although they did slow down my computer just a tad...
DeleteHey, does anyone here have any idea how to make a GIF?
I am looking forward for the book!!!!
ReplyDeleteWell they are related no doubt but what can Annabeth or Percy or some Romans do in a Norse mythology, remember bianca do angelo, nicos sister, she didn't die because of hephaestus, she died because she was useless, to the story. What could she have done? " nothing, she couldn't join the 7,she couldn't do anything and of course, she died because she was useless. And now Percy and Annabeth will appear, what can they do? Convert themselves! Rick will stop mentioning them or kill them, which is not healthy for a a successful series

ReplyDeleteThe preview is out.
ReplyDeleteAnabeth and her father actually go looking for her cousin MAGNUS.
He just hides away and evesdrops on them without showing himself Because his mother told him before she died, that his uncle was dangerous.
You can find the preview in the third Percy Jackson Carter Kane crossover book.
ReplyDeletei wonder if we'll see amy and dan from the 39 clues series, since they're in the boston area, too
