Rick Riordan has signed a new three book deal with Disney. The book will focus on Norse god mythology.
When speaking with the AP this weekend Riordan said, “The Norse gods are so wild. They have this wild, barbaric energy you don’t associate with the Greeks.” The books won’t likely hit shelves until 2015. Riordan is currently gearing up for The Son of Neptune release and tour.
“There are so many fantastic stories and I want to bring Thor and Odin and the other gods into the modern world, just like I did with the Greeks and Percy Jackson,” Riordan said. “I’ll give the books an urban setting and have young people interacting with the Norse gods.”
Are you exciting about the new series? What Norse god tale do you want to see him write?
