Magnus Chase

[The Sibling she/her]

If there's a Percy Jackson thread then there should be a Magnus Chase thread. 

"People tended to spell it Mangus, rhymes with Angus. I always corrected them: No, it's Magnus, rhymes with swagness. At which point they would stare at me blankly.”

Haha, show them a few pictures of Magnus Ver Magnusson (aka GOAT Strongman), and they'll never doubt again.

 

I loved these books, even if all the Riordan audiobooks are generally pretty terrible.  

"What is it? It's a Duck.  What's it do? It can become a larger Duck"

Bwahahahaa!  Love that whole scene.

He's a Chess Champ.  

Magnus Ver Magnusson was/is a professional weightlifter and strongman, and world record holder for being an absolute beast.  He was the Worlds Strongest Man 4 years running in the 90's.

Yeah, I know. I thought we were listing people named Magnus.

Ah, gotcha, sorry

Magnus Chase are definitely the best Riordainverse books and Alex Fierro is my one of my favourite characters ever, second only to Hrathen.

Thanks for coming to my TEDtalk *mic drop*

I’m sorry I’m sleep deprived and have Covid brain also I’m still recovering from TMA season one finale . Anything I post in the next 24 hours may be crazy.

I really do love it though.

I think I need to go back and reread the magnus chase books, but from what I remember, I loved them

I got an Alex Fierro-esque ring. It’s pink and green diamond shaped checkers.
it was a dollar

That's awesome. I love Alex Fierro. Definitely one of my favourite characters. I recently watched Thor Love and Thunder (It was terrible) but I think it's funny how there are some things in the movie that I wouldn't have really understood if I hadn't read Magnus Chase.
