He's a Frost Giant that Odin and his brothers killed, then used his body to make the earth.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to the Magnus Chase books, that was one of my Waiting on Wednesdays. I haven't heard of the Brotherband Chronicles though, I'll have to check it out!Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04546402345969817150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809043627898321115.post-44743210538076093512015-08-26T07:12:34.008-04:002015-08-26T07:12:34.008-04:00Ooh, unique topic!

I know there's definitely German influence in the names ... but I thought "Greek" when I first heard "Titan." =) <br /><br />Rick Riordan's upcoming Magnus Chase series is supposed to be his contemporary take on Norse mythology. Another YA/teen series, The Brotherband Chronicles(?) by John Flanagan I think might fit as well? I haven't read them myself, but my younger brother enjoys them --Norse/Viking inspired fantasy novels.
