This week, I'm waiting on:
The Sword of Summer by Rick Riordan
Release date: October 6, 2015
Magnus Chase has always been a troubled kid. Since his mother's mysterious death, he's lived alone on the streets of Boston, surviving by his wits, keeping one step ahead of the police and the truant officers. One day, he's tracked down by a man he's never met--a man his mother claimed was dangerous. The man tells him an impossible secret: Magnus is the son of a Norse god.
The Viking myths are true. The gods of Asgard are preparing for war. Trolls, giants, and worse monsters are stirring for doomsday. To prevent Ragnarok, Magnus must search the Nine Worlds for a weapon that has been lost for thousands of years. When an attack by fire giants forces him to choose between his own safety and the lives of hundreds of innocents, Magnus makes a fatal decision. Sometimes, the only way to start a new life is to die...
I've been a big fan of Rick Riordan's YA novels, especially the Percy Jackson books so I am eager to see what he does with his new series featuring Norse mythology.
This is my WOW pick of this week also! This series is gonna be soooo good, I think! :D

I'm looking forward to this one too, I've always liked Norse mythology so even though I have not read his previous books, I'll probably start with these. And if I like them, i'll have plenty to go back and catch up on. :)

I'm so behind on Riordan's books, but glad to see he's branching out to another mythology! His Percy Jackson books were great, and this one sounds incredible!
