Our view

“9 From the Nine Worlds” is a light, playful companion to Rick Riordan’s Magnus Chase trilogy, told in short stories. While Magnus is away, Hearthstone, Blitzen, Samirah, Alex and other friends each take a turn facing giants, monsters and meddling gods. Some enjoy the jokes and the change of narrator from tale to tale; others find the stories too slight to matter. It is for fans who want more time with these characters.

About the book

The Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard trilogy may have concluded, but we haven't heard the last of our favorite peeps from the Nine Worlds. Join Hearthstone, Blitzen, Samirah, Alex, Jack, T.J., Mallory, Halfborn, and more on a hilarious and unforgettable journey through Rick Riordan's unique take on Norse mythology. While Magnus is off visiting his cousin, Annabeth, his friends find themselves in some sticky, hairy, and smelly situations as they try to outwit moronic giants, murderous creatures, and meddlesome gods. Can they stave off Ragnarok at least until Magnus gets back?
