Narrado por: Christopher Guetig

The first audiobook in the incredible new series from the author of Percy Jackson, the Kane Chronicles and Heroes of Olympus.

My name is Magnus Chase. I'm orphaned and living rough on the streets of Boston. And things are about to get much worse.

My day started out normally enough. I was sleeping under a bridge when some guy kicked me awake and said, 'They're after you.' Next thing I know, I'm reunited with my obnoxious uncle, who casually informs me that my long-lost father is a Norse god.

Nothing normal about that. And it turns out the gods of Asgard are preparing for war. Apparently, if I can't find the sword my father lost two thousand years ago, there will be doom. Doomsday, to be precise.

A fire giant attacking the city?

Immortal warriors hacking each other to pieces?

Unkillable wolves with glowing eyes?

It's all coming up.

But first I'm going to die. This is the story of how my life goes downhill from there...

can we get this dude an award?

I'm happy to have gotten the book cause the narrator gets it. the tone, the jokes, the mannerisms. 2/2 Thor goats, would listen again!

Gripping plot and comforting characters

I absolutely loved the narration and the story had a gripping plot. I couldn’t stop listing! I would definitely recommend this to someone who enjoys Rick Riordan’s Demi - god novels, a lovely book indeed.

Good listening

The pace of the reader was good and easy to listen too, great for those who have a great imagination.

Just amazing!

This book is amazing!
Rick Riordan is so good at writing stories that have just enough everything!
Totally worth it

Very interesting

It’s an awesome book, I really enjoyed the whole story, Rick HS done a fabulous job.

I think Rick is a genius

Rick Riordan is my favourite writer by far I love every single book he has written although I wish he would make a book about Leo Valdés and the time before he met Jason grace and maybe another when he goes adventuring with Calipso

Sensational

The story plot and idea was absolutely amazing. Be prepare for a major plot twist.

Good Story, bad reading

Liked the story, but the performance was shockingly bad, almost ruined it. Hopefully next one is better.

Great Book Terrible Narration

Try listening to the other recent series, The Hidden Oracle. The narrator is a lot more involved and much better at character description. This one ruins the mood constantly.

Nice-ish

The story is nice, but the humor is a little too childish in places for my liking. I think the most interesting thing about this story is the unique characters. The narration is slow, so I played it at x1.15 speed or so.
