[[WMG: The real villain of this series is the giant Ymir
I mean think about it. He most likely alive in some capacity and looking for revenge on Odin for killing him. Also, Loki seems a little too obvious.

* My personal belief is that the Yggdrasil, Duat and the Greek Pantheon all are different planes of existances. This is why the Eygptian Gods cannot enter the mortal world, since it's the equivalent of trying to go to the Moon without an astronaut suit (or a human host). The Greek Gods are more tied to the mortal world, so their plane of existance is super-positioned over the mortal world, with the Mist, not being a form of veil or "magical denial" as Annabeth puts it, but the wall that separates the two worlds. Which explains why most humans can't see monsters or be affected by Celestial Bronze, since they are literally in another dimension. Demigods, exist in both dimensions at once, hence Chiron's saying in Sea of Monsters, about demigods being in both worlds. It was a literal statement!

[[WMG: Sam's fears regarding her VoluntaryShapeshifting aren't what she thinks it is]]
She distrusts it because it comes from her father, Loki, (on top of shapeshifting being associated with negative forces in Islam, which just adds to the complications her demigod status provides her mortal life) and fears that the more she uses it, the more like her father she will become. However, in ''Literature/TheKaneChronicles'', Sadie once nearly became a bird of prey permanently, as she was unable to change back due to her inexperience. It's then explained that the longer one stays in their shifted form, the more their human mind will slip away. Take too long, and they'll remain in that form forever. Because of how well Riordan has explained the same facets (magic between the Greco-Roman myths and Egyptian mythology, for instance) without them jibing too seriously, there's a possibility that this is actually that feeling Sam gets whenever she shifts.
Plus, it wouldn't be unlike Riordan to play with this plot thread in order to give Sam another way to shake off the shadow of Loki.

[[WMG: Loki is Magnus' father.]]
Magnus has been shown to display both skill in thievery and a tendency to enact his own Robin Hood style of justice. Now my Norse mythology isn't the greatest, but I do believe Loki has displayed similar mannerisms (in the sense of deciding one's guilt and punishment on his own), and as a trickster god it isn't too much of a stretch to add thievery to his domain. In addition, Magnus' mortal parent is his mother (not that that matters much to Loki, but the odds of Rick writing HomosexualReproduction are unlikely), making his Norse parent male. Thor and Odin seem too obvious, and in the preview chapter doesn't Magnus have visions of a wolf? Fenrir is the great wolf of Norse Mythology, and also Loki's son--a brother seeking out a brother, perhaps?.

As far as I know, there is no sword in Norse mythology called that. Freyr's sword was one of the only weapons without a name given to it. Freyr gave it up to win his wife, and there are conflicting stories about what happ Ned to it. Freyr is also a god of fertility, something that can be associated with summer, especially in a climate like Norway's. Please correct me if you know of any weapons called the sword of summer, or if you have any other ideas.
[[WMG: The Sword of Summer is actually Freyr's sword.]]

[[WMG:Magnus will die for real in the first few chapters]]
As the summary states, a fire giant attacks leads to Magnus choosing between his life or the lives of innocents. While Magnus does steal, he does seem like he'd choose to save the innocents. So, Uncle Randolph tells him he's a demigod, Magnus doesn't believe it, then a fire giant attacks. Magnus stops the fire giant, at the cost of his own life. As he died in battle, he would go to Valhalla, where he's forced to accept the reality that the Norse myths are true. Then, the Aesir send Magnus as an Einherjar (dead spirit in Valhalla) to find the Sword of Summer and prevent Ragnarok.

* It's important to remember that Loki was a protagonist as much as he was an antagonist in Norse mythology, and most of the time his turns as an antagonist was due to his fate rather then what he actually wanted.

[[WMG:Loki will not be a true antagonist, but will be running his own agenda]]
Loki is way too obvious to be the BigBad. Instead, he'll be similar to Set in the later books of ''Literature/TheKaneChronicles''. He'll probably help the heroes more than he hinders them, aside from inevitably throwing monsters and tricks at them for shits and giggles.
[[WMG:Marvel will be a giant berserk button for all the Aesir.]]
