I loved seeing characters find themselves – find out who they are. I loved seeing how much the characters have grown throughout the whole series. The Ship of the Dead made my heart fill up so much. I loved them both, so when I started reading The Ship of the Dead, I was excited and I wasn’t disappointed. You can check out my reviews of The Sword of Summerand The Hammer of Thor. The Magnus Chase series has to be one of my favourites – it’s full of diversity, adventure and breaks my heart at the same time. I’ve loved reading Rich Riordan’s books for years – and now because I work in a bookshop I try and recommend it as much as I can. This review will contain spoilers from The Sword of Summer and The Hammer of Thor. This has in no way influenced my thoughts and feelings about the book. I received a free copy of The Ship of the Dead by Rick Riordan for review from Penguin Teen Australia in exchange for an honest review.

This will require finding a magical elixir so deadly that it will either make Magnus Chase powerful enough to out-talk the silver-tongued Loki, or destroy Magnus utterly The Ship of the Dead

To defeat Loki, Magnus will need to use words, not force. But Magnus’s biggest challenge will be facing his own inner demons. It’s up to Magnus Chase and his friends to stop Loki’s plans, but to do so they will have to sail across the oceans of Midgard, Jotunheim and Niflheim in a desperate race to reach Naglfar before it’s ready to sail on Midsummer’s Day.Īlong the way, they will face angry sea gods, hostile giants, and an evil fire-breathing dragon who happens to be a former acquaintance. Now he’s readying Naglfar, the Ship of the Dead, armed with a host of giants and zombies, to sail against the Norse gods and begin the final battle of Ragnarok. Loki the trickster god is free from his chains.
