[Allison]

[C]

Rick said it wasn't a cow inky dink

[Mandy]

[C]

What?

[Allison]

[C]

What is it

[Allison]

The Sword of Summer.

And Annabeth's brothers are Bobby and Matthew. Titan's Curse.

[C]

Ooh I LOVE that title and is mathew and bobby part of the cover it doesn't seem so but...

[Timothy]

Winter is coming is taken so this will be a fantastic series can't wait :)

[Ben]

You know how it says Magnus Chase's mother mysteriously died. What if his mother is a norse goddess. Dr.Chase could be his father. Maybe that's why Dr.Chase wasn't still in love with Athena. Ms.Chase secretly a goddess or Ms.Chase secretly had a kid with a norse god.

[Jeannette]

Is magnus in anyway related to annabeth? Just curious

[Allison]

Yup. Rick said it isn't a coincidence.

Read Blood of Olympus.

[Zoe]

What if Magnus is a cousin or something? That would be SO cool.

[Zoe]

and what culture is Norse mythology from?

I haven't read the book yet whos Magnus?!

[Ben]

Norse mythology comes from three Scandinavian countries Norway, Denmark and Sweden where the Vikings lived. Its the northernmost version of Germanic mythology.

[Elle]

Magnus Chase... AHHHSIAKKDJAK
so excited
I feel like he's gonna be Annabeth's cousin or something though cause
******BoO SPOILERS*********
(Doesnt she mention having cousins or relatives at one point that she regrets not having talked to?)
***********SPOILERS OVER***************
Just a coincidence or Rick dropping hints...?

[Allison]

Rick dropping hints.

[Allison]

Is it just me, or does this sound EXACTLY like the Lightning Thief from the blurb??

Magnus Chase has always been a troubled kid. Since his mother's mysterious death, he's lived alone on the streets of Boston, surviving by his wits, keeping one step ahead of the police and the truant officers. One day, he's tracked down by an uncle he's never met—a man his mother claimed was dangerous. His uncle tells him an impossible secret: Magnus is the son of a Norse god. The Viking myths are true. The gods of Asgard are preparing for war. Trolls, giants and worse monsters are stirring for doomsday. To prevent Ragnarok, Magnus must search the Nine Worlds for a weapon that has been lost for thousands of years. When an attack by fire giants forces him to choose between his own safety and the lives of hundreds of innocents, Magnus makes a fatal decision. Sometimes, the only way to start a new life is to die . . .

Rick, you gotta be kidding me.

[Zoe]

A little bit,but it's a bit different.

[Danielle]

I so can't wait.

[Zoe]

Me neither. but we have to.:(. My birthday is October 10 and Rick Riordan's books always just come out before. Therefore my mum can't say something like " No you can't have it cause you been mean to ur sister."

[Elle]

It's not exactly like lightning thief but a bit similar yeah... I've never read the Kane chronicles so I don't know how he does writing other mythology/characters besides Greek/Roman but I reeeeally hope it has a different feel to it than HoO, not that there was something wrong with em' I just wanna see what else he can do :D

[Zoe]

You've never read Kane Chronicles!!!

[PDF]The Kane Chronicles, Book One: The Red Pyramid

Copy that and it will give you a free download of book number one. There's three books.

[Elle]

They must be pretty good if you're willing to give me a free download in order to read them lol!! Thanks Zoe but I actually have the first one in my house right now :) I just haven't gotten around to it yet....

[Zoe]

It's interesting. I haven't found any pdf's for 2 and 3 yet. I'm still looking. :)

It sounds like a mix of The Lightning Thief and The Red Pyramid. Though, honestly, I'm not going to think of this has the official blurb/plot/summary/whatever-you-wanna-call-it. People sometimes make up stuff because they think they know, but they don't.

Where'd ya find this, anyway? I practically stalk- *Clears throat* Ahh.. Keep a very close eye on Rick Riordan stuff. Is it from the tour?

[Allison]

It's from Goodreads.

[MOVED - CHECK BIO, Head Camper ~ "Bob says hello."]

I am off to look at this.

[Elle]

Plus Rick posted on Instagram confirming that it was from his publisher and the real deal...

OKAY so in BoO Annabeth says that she (view spoiler)[ has a uncle and cousin in Boston that she has never met because reasons (hide spoiler)] and Gods of Asgard is set in Boston so that seems to be it and so hopefully we get some post-BoO info which would be great bc we're all experiencing Post Series Stress Disorder.

[Allison]

I'm not!!!! *waves awkwardly while everyone stares*

[David]
