We're back, baby! Starting off book 2 of the Magnus Chase series with the return, and consequent murder, of our favorite goat, Otis. Manasa brings up Hoodwinked this time. Magnus has a wild chase with a goat killer. Jack is really into pop music now and has had a lot of personality development. Jack is now Manasa's enemy. We get to meet Alex Fierro, a character we have long-anticipated, and see her in weasel form. Magnus is yearning immediately. Erin suggests watching both Hoodwinked and the Spongebob Movie for research purposes.

We are finally finishing this book! Magnus gets to meet his dad, who sounds hot. We get the big reveal of this book -- X is actually Odin, and was this whole time. Manasa doesn't like this plotline. She also got X confused with Halfborn for half of this book. Erin sees herself in Odin's love for a good PowerPoint. He walks us through the prophecy line by line (probably with crappy PowerPoint animation). Magnus meets up with Annabeth again, and then the book ends on quite the cliffhanger, where we see Randolph and Loki scheming. We discuss our overall thoughts on this book (hint: they're positive!) and wrap up with some final thunder bolt questions for Sword of Summer.

Sorry to our Luke lovers about the title -- if anyone can change our minds, it will be Charlie Bushnell! This week, Magnus is finally facing off with Fenris, The Wolf. We create a new character, Fernis, the nerdy brother of Fenris. Erin and Manasa decide they like The Wolf. He's very funny. He has pizzazz. We meet up with the floormates, and Gunilla dies. We're not all that sad about it. We compare Gunilla to Luke, even though they're not the same character at all. Also, we make fun of Blitz's chainmail ascot.

This week, we come to the unfortunate realization that we are Otis and Marvin. Or perhaps we are just both Otis. The jury is still out. Erin brings up giant welfare in Ella Enchanted. We both think Magnus is actually in the wrong because he killed all three of Geirod's daughters. We both hate on Gunilla. Then we meet Hel briefly, who gives Magnus a difficult choice. Then they find some dwarves to sail them to the island of Fenris wolf.

Today is Manasa's birthday episode --- wooohooo! We start off the birthday episode with a made-up fan story about the notorious Mrs. Gibson the serpent. Then we discuss the great Chris debate. We get to meet Thor, who is a bit of a himbo. Jack defeats a giant by going up it's nose. Manasa gives us a deep dive on Sleipner, the horse with 8 legs. Erin argues that self-driving cars are actually our attempt as a culture to get back to horse riding. Magnus and friends agree to help Thor look for his hammer at Geirrod's home. Then they murder his daughters!! We end by discussing popular 2015 TV shows.

We start off this week by discussing a fan-made Norse godly parent quiz (link below!) and having some deep self analysis. Then Blitz has a crafting contest and wins, thanks to Sam's animorphing powers. The gang escapes the angry dwarves, and in the process, they discover that the Sword of Summer can talk! We have PTSD because of the Arrow of Dodona. Erin proposes a theory about Rick's fixation on speaking objects in 2015. Magnus gets to see Loki again via dream, and then we meet our new favorite character, Otis the goat. Otis is the GOAT. They head to find Thor and figure out where Fenris wolf is.

We are running out of references, folks. Somehow we bring up Spongebob, Lord of the Rings, Taylor Swift, Rudolph, Jimmy Neutron, and Stardew Valley, all in one episode. Magnus and friends navigate the world tree and face the giant squirrel. They end up in Folkvanger, and meet Freya, Blitz's mom. Magnus lowkey has a crush on his aunt, but we aren't going to think about that too much. They get what they need for their quest, and finally get to Nidavellir, where all the dwarves hangout. Apparently, dwarves love Taylor Swift. Blitz finds himself entered into a crafting contest to save the world against his arch-enemy, a dwarf named Junior.

This week, Magnus and pals set sail with a strange man named Harold to see a goddess about a sword. Rick pulls his favorite trick to get two characters alone to bond. Rick also attempts to teach us about diversity. We meet Ran and get the Sword of Summer (which has yet to begin speaking). We find out who Big Boy is, and deep dive a little on Utgard-Loki. Erin talks about her Sims-induced psychosis. Then Magnus, Sam, Hearth, and Blitz find a way to the World Tree through some cute lil duck statues!
