The Ship of the Dead is the third and final book in the Magnus Chase series and is written by Rick Riordan. In this book, Magnus Chase is in the Viking afterlife Valhalla, where he prepares for the world ending Norse event of Ragnarok. I loved the first two books in this series, so I had a lot of expectations placed on the finale, and I have to say that the book surpassed my expectations. Just like the first two books, this book masterfully manages the humorous tone with the tense feelings of saving the world.
The Hammer of Thor is the second book in the Magnus Chase series and is written by Rick Riordan. In the previous book, Magnus and his friends learn that Thor has misplaced his famous hammer, but it’s not given much thought because it’s a common habit of his. However, it becomes a big issue when it’s learned that Thor’s hammer has fallen into enemy hands. In this book, Magnus and his friends must find the hammer quickly or else the mortal worlds will be destroyed by an army of giants.
The Sword Of Summer is the first book in the Magnus Chase series and is written by Rick Riordan. In this book, readers are introduced to Magnus Chase, a homeless teenager who lost his mother a few years ago and hangs around with his two friends (and for Percy Jackson fans, he’s the cousin to Annabeth Chase). Magnus’s life is flipped outside down when he learns that his father is a Norse god, and that he needs to go on a mission to retrieve his dad’s weapon to save the world. To do that, he needs to die.
The Blood of Olympus is the fifth and final book in the Heroes of Olympus series and is written by Rick Riordan. All of Gaea’s giants have been woken up and they’re all stronger than ever. As the demigods race to stop them from waking Gaea up, they also must deal with visions of war between Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter. The seven demigods must be careful and plan out their actions, or else the world will be destroyed.
The House of Hades is the fourth book in the Heroes of Olympus series and is written by Rick Riordan. In this book, Annabeth and Percy find themselves fighting the impossible odds and trying to make it out of Tartarus alive, while the rest of the demigods try to finish their quest to close the Doors of Death.
The Mark of Athena is the third book in the Heroes of Olympus series and is written by Rick Riordan. In this installment of the franchise, The Prophecy of Seven begins as the seven demigods come together on their expedition to the birthplace of the gods. First, they go to Rome to resolve a mysterious quest regarding the Mark of Athena. The first two books in this series established and advanced the plot in these books, but readers could tell that they were mainly trying to develop their respective characters.
Francesca Bridgerton, the Countess of Kilmartin has finally reached a kind of peace in her life. She is ready to shed the colors of half-mourning, she has found purpose in life through managing the Kilmartin estate, and she has returned to London to find a husband. But this visit unfortunately coincides with the return of her estranged best friend and late husband’s cousin, Michael. They find themselves increasingly drawn together, but a sense of guilt and duty towards the late Earl of Kilmartin keeps them apart…until it can’t.
Eloise Bridgerton has always been incredibly independent and content to become a spinster with her best friend Penelope - in fact she has pretty much already achieved this goal, having recently reached the age of twenty-eight and with no husband in sight. But when Penelope all of a sudden gets married, Eloise makes the rash decision to head out to the countryside to meet with her correspondent of a year, the recently widowed Sir Phillip, a dedicated botanist and father to two unruly children. But when she reaches his remote home, she soon regrets this decision.
Penelope Featherington has always been the ugly duckling, the butt of the joke, and the wallflower. But despite these factors enforcing the improbability of their match, she has always been hopelessly in love with her best friend’s brother, the notorious rogue and charmer Colin Bridgerton. When Colin returns from a trip abroad, they seem to find themselves interacting more and more - first through coincidences and then through intention as they find that despite a lack of previous romance, something has changed.
The Bridgerton saga continues with The Viscount Who Loved Me. Anthony Bridgerton, notorious rake and quite possibly the most eligible bachelor of any of the recent seasons, has finally decided to marry. In a manner fitting with his status, he decides he will marry the incomparable of the season. However, his previous behavior leads to a decided hatred from his future wife’s stubborn older sister Kate, who refuses to give her approval for the match.
