PRAISE FOR THE HAMMER OF THOR "There's some crossover with
characters from Riordan's other series, and the ending promises
more overlap in future installments. A surefire hit."--Booklist
PRAISE FOR THE HAMMER OF THOR "This latest installment in Riordan's
Nordic-themed fantasy series is a fast-paced adventure narrative
featuring snappy dialogue and a diverse cast of well-developed
characters. The author possesses a singular talent for re-creating
contemporary teenspeak. An entertaining sequel that will whet fans'
appetites for the next installment."--Kirkus Reviews
PRAISE FOR THE SWORD OF SUMMER "The Sword of Summer is a
propulsive, kinetic, witty rebooting of Norse mythology with all
the charm of the Percy Jackson novels. Instantly likeable heroes!
Insane action! Cool villains! A twisting, turning, always exciting
story! Rick Riordan does it again, even better."--New York Times
best-selling author Michael Grant
PRAISE FOR THE SWORD OF SUMMER "A whirlwind of myth, action, and
wry sarcasm, perfect for readers hungry for a new hit of that Percy
Jackson-type magic."--Horn Book
PRAISE FOR THE SWORD OF SUMMER "Norse myths are in right now, and
Riordan has the magic touch."--Booklist
PRAISE FOR THE SWORD OF SUMMER "With an epic plot, engaging (and
diverse) characters, and tons of wisecracking humor, Riordan's
latest is a page-turner."--School Library Journal
PRAISE FOR THE SWORD OF SUMMER "Rick Riordan's new series is simply
brilliant--maybe his best yet! I thought I knew Norse mythology,
but now that I've read the gripping and hilarious Sword of Summer,
I'll never see Thor the same way again. Get ready to stay up all
night reading!"--New York Times #1 best-selling author Harlan Coben
