Story 78: The Sword of Summer; Or Magnus Chase Gets a Life

Muses of Mythology

“Have you heard the theory that Jason Grace goes to Valhalla?”

Darien (she/her) and DJ (he/him) leave Greek mythology behind and check into Hotel Valhalla with Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard.
Other topics include the perfect timing to branch away from the Percy Jackson books, first-person narrative being Rick Riordan’s greatest strength, the fluctuating timeline of these interconnected middle-grade book series, a quick stop at Pronunciation Station, who gets sent to which mythological afterlife, a not-so-speedy run through the various quests of the book, and a shocking revelation about one of the co-hosts not finishing the book before recording this episode.
Spoilers for The Sword of Summer and The Hammer of Thor
