No More Magnus Chase!!!!!!!!!!

Many people who liked Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians and The Heroes of Olympus series also fell in love with other series written by him like The Kane Chronicles, The Trials of Apollo, and the super popular Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard Series. Sadly though, Rick Riordan has announced that there won’t be a forth book which would’ve come after Book 3, The Ship of the Dead.

The Magnus Chase Series is about a sixteen year old teen who has ended up homeless after the tragic death of his mom when he was eight. He dies pretty early in the story and is opened into a whole new world of Norse mythology including his dad who’s a god.  Soon he’ll be put on a quest that will test everything he’s ever known.

Book fans didn’t think Rick would break his pattern of “five books per series” until the Kane Chronicles, where he did his first 3 book book series.  Now Uncle Rick has devastated millions as he stops writing about the lovely Magnus Chase.
