The Hammer of Thor by Rick Riordan
I would recommend this book to all teen readers because it is a very interesting book to read and it makes you want to read more. To add on to this, the author, Rick Riordan, has already made very many famous teen books such as Percy Jackson & the Olympians and The Heroes of Olympus. Since this is also a new series about mythological gods made by Rick Riordan, I think that many teens will want to read this book.
The plot is about how the hammer of Thor is missing and how Magnus Chase and company must go on an adventure to find it. Along the way, he encounters many new people that will hinder Magnus’ quest, like viking mummies, an axe-throwing goat assassin, and a greedy elf.
As a reviewer, I liked this book a lot, because it is well written, and it sets up a long-term plot that started building in the last book, The Sword of Summer. It also foreshadows the plot of the next book, and possibly books even further behind it. It also has good humor dotted throughout the book that adds a certain spice to the book.
This book is also an example of high literary quality, because it has a very well written exposition, rising action, climax, and receding action. Each transition well into the next and it doesn’t seem forced. Before you know it, you already are in the thick of the action but you still remember everything that came before it.
I think that readers that like fiction books and mythology would like this book because it is a mix of both and is geared toward teen readers. It also is relatable to many teens around the world you don’t think they belong in their social group and is shunned by all others.
