I need Nico to meet Magnus and Alex cuz I know he would be like “WTF BUT YOURE DEAD” the second he sees them 😭
Same! A meeting between them would be super interesting.
He would be so uncomfortable cuz not only can he FEEL death he can SEE it
Nico also needs to like, meet other queer kids his age. (Minus will obviously)
“YOUR HAVE A HEALING GLOW IN THE DARK BLONDE BOYFREIND TOO!!”
Could he control them too?
one thing i LOVE about magnus chase is that rick really sat down and was like "huh, how do I make sure it's super clear that Magnus is NOT Percy" and then he was like "wait I've got it!!!! he hates blue :)"
also the line that's like "typical. someone says fruity edge and immediately thinks of me"
ALSO the first two chapters of ship of the dead because the CROSSOVER
don't even get me started on blitzstone
ALSO the way that rick melds gods and belief systems in this series. especially the dynamic between magnus, sam, and amir. the way magnus was like,, yup, I'm an atheist, sam's Muslim, and we're children of norse gods cleaning up their messes. and just how magnus helped amir in general
one last thing: when you were talking about opening an orphanage in the HoO vlog, I was smiling internally waiting for you to read Magnus Chase. and then you DIDNT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT. that makes me upset and as retribution, you are required to specifically mention "significant annoyance" when you read ToA
I stan people who stan the one perfect pairing that is blitzstone 🦋🦋🦋
YESSSSSSSS
@Withro Anime Edits Can't argue with the truth 😌
@Withro Anime Edits DONT FORGET FIERROCHASE
Hearthzten
ONE OF MY FAVOURITE OTPs
before i watch the video i’m just gonna say that blitzstone are husbands so true 😌
🌞🤘🏽 Happy Bookish Saturday Friends
literally they must be a couple
I AM SUCH A HUGE MAGNUS CHASE FAN
WE LOVE TO SEE IT
YASSSS QUEEN GOOOOO GURL ALL THAT JAZZ MAGNUS CHASE HYPE
Blitzstone not being canon breaks my heart every single time. And I’m so excited for you…
I always forget that it isn't canon 😂
@@BrittvanVliet Ikr lol I think everyone in the fandom agrees it's canon even though it's not ... because it is.
@Anna hmm idk I feel like with Solangelo, Rick set it up to be a ship in the book, where as Blitzstone wasn’t necessarily meant to be a ship when Rick wrote it. It just ended up being one. I’m Blood of Olympus, Nico and Will were meant to have romantic tension but in MC I don’t think it was intentional.
However, if Rick does canonize it than I would be so freakin happy lol
Have you seen the meme that Uncle Rick posted about making Blitzstone canon?? 😂😂😂
@@mailyak442 I haven't but now I must lol
I was kinda hesitant going in, cause it seemed like a minor series or something. But boy was i wrong. I absolutely loved it, and Magnus has to be one of the best narrators in the riordanverse. Like his sarcasm is god tier. I enjoyed it a lot and am glad u read it.
Its ok the Magnus and Annabeth connection evaded me as well until i read and i just sat alone for so long sitting in my room turned the lights off and just became the definition of Emo
also dont get scared for Trials Of Apollo hecause i personally LOVED IT. i think apollo is my favorite narrator in the riordanverse along with maggie, he is so unique and fun, but i do hope you have some things in mind while reading this series, esp The Burning Maze. some fans found it dumb or unnecessary a certain thing happnes there, while i think that it was perfectly understandable and it has so much more meaning and is more heartbreaking once you really think about it, plus it works as a sort of catalyst for apollo's mindset in the other 2 books as he grows more as a character and person. so loved it.
Can I just say that the 2 pages where it plays out Reyna rejects Lester/Apollo😂it was the funniest thing ever
@@parnikajain3151 OH GODS YESSS that is kinda of a spoiler i think.... but it was the most hilarious thing in the book
I totally agree with you. I connected so much with Apollo . It's a great series
@@lina5699 i love reading the last 30 pages or close enough to that in ToN when apollo returns to olympus as my comfort read if i'm feeling down
I also like Trials of Apollo it's a great series even though some people think it's unnecessary I really liked Apollo's character development and Burning Maze was like the turning point of the series. I was reading first book of Magnus Chase and TOA at the same time but I stopped reading Hidden Oracle it was not that interesting at the start and also ( spoiler kind of Percy went home ) but the series gets better and I really liked The Tower of Nero it's very good ending .
I have such special memories reading Magnus Chase, especially waiting for the Hammer of Thor and Ship of Dead after the cliffhangers lol! Alex means so much to me and I love him and Magnus so much 😭😭 The characters definitely have a special place in my heart. I think Rick took some risks with the stakes of this series but they payed off in the end 😌
she uses she/her pronouns until she says otherwise but yeah Alex also means a lot to me she did kinda steal my gender along w/ Nico-
For you both i think you should use she/he and her/him when talking about Alex
There's a small series of three books (The son of sobek, the staff of serapis, the crown of ptolemy) collectively called Demigods and Magicians, and it's a crossover between Kane Chronicles and PJO! You'd definitely want to check them out!
It's killing me not knowing what passages you're reading when making all those reaction faces !! Tell us more !! What is making you laughing ? What is making you shocked like that ?? I'm so intrigued...
Beautiful video by the way :)
Same!!
i try and lip read and there was a point where he said Annabeth
I Love Magnus sooo much! I LIVE for his bluntness and sarcasm! In The Hammer of Thor I love him simping for Alex😭😭blitzstone is great! I had to look up fan art on ig to picture how they looked like cause I couldn’t really from Rick’s description in the books😂I only started on The ship of the dead yesterday (only on pg. 30 I think) so it’s better I don’t watch this until I’m done with the whole trilogy😂
I didn’t notice the name Chase either! 😫
I'm so glad I'm not alone in that sahjdoiasfdh
i read trials of apollo before magnus chase so the end of hammer of thor instead of being confused i just started sobbing.
READING THE TITLE LIKE I KNEW I COULD TRUST YOU TO SHIP THEM
Annabeth thing in the end made me so anxious and now I’m so scared to read next series
now you need to read the trials of apollo! all of his books are so good pls
Once you mentioned displaying your Riordan’s books without their dust jackets, I immediately did that with my little collection of books by Riordan!!! They look like classics this way 😎
You're making me want to reread these books (even more) 🥺 I've read them a long time ago and thoroughly enjoyed them but now I can't remember all of the events clearly.
i reread them annually lmao. this is around the time of the year where i do my reread, actually.
Such a great series. And yeah, if you don’t ship Blitzstone I can’t know you
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO READ THIS SERIES FOR SO LONG! Magnus Chase is always my fave rick series
you ship Blitzstone same! I was the one(with help from Alex) to get them together
I started writing my first novel and coming to terms with my querness while reading the Ship of the Dead, so I have a soft spot for MC books. They might be my favorite Riordan series.
IM SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS I FREAKING LOVE MAGNUS CHASE
Hearing you say you love Norse mythology actually motivated me to continue my WIP that's about Norse mythology I-
blitzstone supremacy, we were robbed
the way my heart SCREAMEDDDD when i saw that this video was released and alex fierro is my fav character ever i- i am so in love with her/him its kinda crazy
My theory about why Magnus Chase books shrink so abruptly throughout the series is that Rick got tired of writing such long books (I think this was about the time he was writing 2 books a year, though my memory isn't exactly reliable)
I really hope you’re mentally prepared to read the trials of Apollo bc on the 3rd to the 5th book is just straight up pain and suffer
my comfort youtuber is back :)
i didn't go anywhere!
@@fictionalfates and thank you for that! I just like being dramatic ☺️
Dude, I don't know if you realize but there's a character in the Trials of Apollo series that wears gold rings on both hands like, exactly the way you're doing right now...anyway I need someone to be the Magnus to my Alex Fierro right NOW
We love Meg🥺
Haha! OMG! I love that you love Alex Fierro! I'm absolutely in love with Alex! (and Magnus of course) I paged through "Magnus Chase" in no time because I loved that series so much. And just like you I'm a huge fan of mythology, too. I think a lot of people didn't notice the connection between Annabeth and Magnus. *lol* So don't be mad at yourself.
Everything about this series was perfect except for the fact that Blitzen and Hearthstone didn't get togther :(
No one gonna talk about how that one giant said I JUST FLEW IN FROM NIFLHEIM, AND BOY, ARE MY ARMS Tired. Disgraceful, riordan
I'm reading this serious right now, So I can only watch a portion of this video, but I'm so excited!
I’m doing the same thing
It was my fave besides Heroes of Olympus, too. I adore Blitzstone, of course, but I love each and every character soooo much.
We all want the collaborative series too... and there are hints to it in the last book of trials of apollo... fingers crossed!
and yes, trials of apollo will emotionally wreck you
i’m so excited. alex fierro is literally my favorite fictional character, ever ever ever. i fucking love her so much. i’m non-binary and genderfluid and i see so much of myself in alex. also yes blitzstone is Amazing
I love your reactions while reading so much because it makes me not feel like a crazy person when I react like that too.
Omg! I was finally planning to read this trilogy and bought the first book. Your video motivated me to finish this trilogy.
!!! I just read these for the first time so I could follow along 🤓🤗 and I really loved them! Ughh even the Percy and Annabeth cameos sm 🥺
Magnus Chase was the Rick Riordan in my childhood (as well as percy jackson and the kane chronicles) and I’m so happy that you’re finally reading it ❤
I love all Rick Riordans books, but Magnus Chase is my favourite! This trilogy just has a special place in my heart
It’s so fun to watch him read the books!! I always try to guess what part he’s at to see his reaction!!
I love this series and I’m so glad you did too!
Ooof this book series stays in my heart and I'll never let it go- thank you for showing me that again!
I'm so excited to see you reading this series! Personally it's my favourite from Riordan verse (closely followed by Kane Chronicles/Heroes of Olympus depending on the day)
I always love watching you reading Rick’s books, he’s one of my favorite writers and absolutely love it when people discover and love his books as well plus I also love your channel so it’s a plus♥️
Don’t worry i didn’t notice his last name until after I said annabeth chase and Magnus chase are cousins in my head before it clicked
magnus chase was and still is my favorite riordanverse series
I was so excited for this video!!! I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's such an exceptional series
I'm not really sure if this or the Greek series is my favorite, although I'm gonna be honest, I expected more from Magnus' end, like I felt it wasn't that...impacting. I like the concept of Magnus not being a fighter but I still wanted more lol. Also, I'm sad you didn't hype for characters like Jack (so hilarious) or floor nineteen pals. T.J., Mallory (queen) and Halfborn are amazing, I want to be friends with them.
This video really reminded me how fantastic this series is and made me excited to re-read it
before i watch the video blitz and hearth are married and rick was a coward not making them a couple
like you cannot make them look like an old married couple and leave them just as friends
I’ve been waiting for this 😩😩💗💗💗
Reread of Magnus chase added to my September TBR👏🏻
The only better pairing than Blitzstone is Hearthstone and me.
You shoud read a scholastic book series called horizon i just finished reading the 2 book and cant wait to get the 3rd book in the series then the 4th and 5th
Bro Alex made me so mad when I finished the series because s/he's my favorite but I nEeD Alex and Magnus to be dating-
Dw they are!
AHHHH I'm on Hammer of Thor rn! I'll come back to this when I'm done but I left a like ❤️
I’m less than a quarter done with the ship of the dead so I will also watch this once I’m done
I don't trust anyone who doesn't stan Alex Fierro
As a Magnus chase fan we all pretend that Inge does not exist for bilzstone
YES YES YES YES Finally Magnus Chase! My favourite Rick Riordan series.
I am so blessed to have found this channel lol
you're making me want to pick up the series too!
Actually, if you want to see characters from different series interacting, there are short stories that deliver exactly that! There are Demigod Files with short stories taking place during (and before) PJ&the Olympians, then Demigod Diaries(?) with characters from HoO. If you want crossovers, there is one between PJ and the Kane Chronicles. The Son of Sobek has Percy and Carter meet, The Staff of Serapis follows Annabeth and Sadie, and The Crown of Ptolemy has all 4 of them if I remember well
I have the same red panda plushie as you :DD
Do you read these Riordan books in one sitting/day?? I have loved watching these videos of yours 💙
omg im abt to read the books after i finish the TDA series !!
I want blitzstone to be cannon so bad
Really wanna read Percy Jackson
It’s worth it !!! I just started reading the series and couldn’t be more in love 😍
I read all of them and they are awesome. I'm in love with them for 3 Years now😍
where do you get all your stunning hardcover riordanverse books from in the uk?? all of the uk covers are so ugly :((
They're the barnes and noble special edition hardbacks, I ended up getting them too bc the UK ones are so bad! (I'm in the UK too)
Personally Magnus Chase trilogy is my favourite out of the universe (the ship of the dead is my favourite book)
Did you read the short stories with The Kane Chronicles and Percy Jackson together? They were at the end of certain editions of the Kane Chronicles but I'm pretty sure you can find them if you look them up.
Yea they were my copy’s have them
whenever you react to something, i try to guess what specific scene/part you're reacting to
How much are we betting that 21:48 was the kiss 😂😂😂
Should I read the trials of apollo series before I read this series
They take place in roughly the same timeline, so you could read either.
The third book really confused me on Hearthstone and Blitz’s relationship like wtf Hearth’s childhood friend/now maid was in love with him? I was completely sure that they (hearth and blitz) were basically married like common law type or at least that they would end up together eventually ya know but then that part in the third book made me do a double take
We meet the made in the second book but yea it was rlly confusing
Okay wait *spoilers for blood of olympus lie ahead but not for a bit*
Being queer in middle school was just me and a bunch of us in a corner looking at fanart of Rick Riordan characters which to me is just so funny. Also I'm genderfluid and Alex Fierro was the first (and only I think) genderfluid character I've read about so that was an experience. It's crazy to think that Nico di Angelo was the first gay character I had ever read when I was like 11 and I know people who didn't read the books until they were 14 and they still hadn't read any books with gay characters and they came over to me crying during school. *okay spoilers now*
My grandma when she finished Blood of Olympus she was like "I'm so happy Nico has found someone. Will had better be his boyfriend and treat him right..." And she just went on and on and I'm surprised she hasnt written fanfiction about them by now. Then when she seemed cool with Alex after reading Magnus Chase I came out to her a month or so after. I don't think she quite understood it and I think I'll have to come out to her again but she wasn't upset about it so I'm grateful.
Anyways long story short,
I literally love Magnus Chase so much, especially the characters, I adore all of the characters. I hope you have a great day/night and remember to please take care of yourself.💚
I just finished the series !
“mjolnir, mjolnir, mjolnir, mjolnir”
“the hammer 😃”
alex is so iconic
Does he know about the Percy Jackson,annabeth and Carter and Sadie collabe book.
I am on the first book of the Kane chronicles series, THERE IS A PERCY ANNABETH SADIE AND CARTER BOOK
@@apolloismydadyeah its like multiverse of madnes
@@vasudhagurav8684 OH MY GODS TELL ME THE NAME PLEASEEE
@@apolloismydad its kinda of mini serises called 'Son of Sobek' , 'The Staff of Serapis'and 'The Crown of Ptolemy'. they are fun 🥳🥳
@@vasudhagurav8684 welp gotta add this to my tbr-
I started reading PJO back in October and whenever I think "This is definitely the last series" another one pops up
I recomand Blackwell Pages by K.L. Armstrong if you like norther gods and this style of Rick R.
They are married your honor
Im so mad! Likewise doesnt exist in my country (Can someone tell me if other countrys have the same problem?)
Which series came first? Magnus chase or trials of Apollo?
I feel Magnus chase. Cause in beginning of ToA Percy mentioned annabeth being in Boston. And in ToN (spoiler-ish) in the last 30 pages or something percabeth explained what they were up to before moving into college
They came out at the same time so reading it in chronological order is best.
But the first Magnus chase book came first
I've been binging all ur vids and can I just say your style with what you wear is Soo awesome! Your aesthetic is so on point with all your vids and I've been just loving watching vids covering these books in particular since a different perspective everytime is just so intriguing ƪ(˘⌣˘)
Lol "3 way crossover wishful thinking" you need to read trials 5 there's a HUGE easter egg
♥♥♥♥
Have you read " a series of unfortunates events " if yes pls tell me what u think and if not i highly recommend it to you , its so good 😍
I love MC 💝😍
What do you listen to when you read?
For MCGA I listen to any and all How to Train Your Dragon ambience and movie soundtrack music!
Bruhhhh habbo hotel built me
Is the first book same as the 2015 sword of summer
Blitzstone supremacy ahoy!
✌✌✌✌💚💚💚💚
Second
This is my least favorite RR series. I think it was probably because I was burnt out
Maybe reread it again? Like next year cause you will have a decent break by then. I mean I didn’t properly read TKC until a whole decade later cause when I tried reading it when it first came out, I didn’t really understand Egyptian mythology and found it uninteresting😂
