About This Book

The Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard trilogy may have concluded, but we haven't heard the last of our favorite einherji and his friends. The nine Norse worlds are rich with lore, as this collection of nine original stories, each told from a different character's point of view, will prove.

Our Review

This collection of nine interconnected stories offers a welcome return to the world of Norse mythology, letting readers explore each of the distinct realms from the perspective of different beloved characters. Each tale provides a fresh viewpoint on the rich lore established in the Magnus Chase series, diving deeper into the unique landscapes and challenges of worlds like Alfheim, Jotunheim, and Niflheim. The episodic structure makes it easy for young readers to digest in short bursts, while the consistent humor and breakneck pacing will keep them eagerly turning pages.

Fans of the original trilogy will be thrilled to revisit their favorite einherji and his diverse group of allies, discovering new facets of their personalities and witnessing their solo adventures. The book cleverly reinforces its mythological foundations, expanding a child's understanding of the Norse cosmos without feeling like a lesson. This anthology successfully captures the same blend of modern wit and ancient legends that made the series so popular, delivering another satisfying adventure for young myth-lovers.
