About ‘The Hammer of Thor’ by Rick Riordan

Thor’s hammer is missing again. The thunder god has a disturbing habit of misplacing his weapon — the mightiest force in the Nine Worlds. But this time the hammer isn’t just lost, it has fallen into enemy hands. If Magnus Chase and his friends can’t retrieve the hammer quickly, the mortal worlds will be defenseless against an onslaught of giants. Ragnarok will begin. The Nine Worlds will burn. Unfortunately, the only person who can broker a deal for the hammer’s return is the gods’ worst enemy, Loki — and the price he wants is very high.

What’s next?

As usual, Rick Riordan has about 10 legendary swords in the mystical fire.

Earlier this year, we got the first book in his new Trials of Apollo series, which was called The Hidden Oracle. I reviewed it and also shared information about book 2, which will be called The Dark Prophecy.

We also had fun breaking down the list of cameos in the book and putting together a playlist worthy of Apollo.

Hotel Valhalla: Guide to the Norse Worlds was just released in August and I found it to be hilariously informative. It also did a good job of laying some breadcrumbs for the second Magnus Chase novel.

This all came in time for Percy’s birthday, when we disclosed 10 naturally blue foods you could eat to honor everyone’s favorite demigod.

The Hammer of Thor will hit store shelves on October 4, 2016. You can pre-order it now. You can also check out Riordan’s book tour schedule.
