See all formats and editions
Beloved characters from the Magnus Chase series star in these short stories, each set in a different one of the Nine Worlds from Norse mythology.




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?

Also by #1 New York Times best-selling author Rick Riordan, author of The Percy Jackson series: The best-selling author of Percy Jackson and the Olympians takes on ancient Egypt in the first book of a trilogy that offers a modern-day portal into a rich fantastical world of ancient myth. The classic first book about Percy Jackson, the troubled boy who discovers he is the son of Poseidon, and his adventures with demigods, monsters, and Greek gods. Rick Riordan, the best-selling author of the Percy Jackson series, pumps up the action and suspense in The Lost Hero, the first book in The Heroes of Olympus series. Favorite Greek and Roman demigods return in a five-book adventure quest with a fresh twist: they’re helping Apollo regain his immortal status. Book One in the #1 New York Times best-selling Percy Jackson and the Olympians series gets the graphic novel treatment from three big names in the comic book industry.

Editorial Reviews

Review

PRAISE FOR THE SHIP OF THE DEAD

"Black, deaf, trans, Muslim, white, homeless, and formerly homeless readers will see characters like themselves cracking jokes and caring for one another, with identities that are crucial to success rather than a distraction or side issue. The climax, a deeply emotional testament to the power of community, could leave some in tears. Riordan is again fighting for a revolution in middle-grade fiction with his funny, whiplash-fast writing and deep moral convictions."―Kirkus Reviews

First off I am a fan Mr. Riordans books because you can escape to a world of mythology and adventure, but 9 From the Nine Worlds left unsevered ties on how Surt managed to work his way into this book without having Magnus in it because isn't Surt's arch enemy Magnus because he's destined to wield Jack.
Aside from all that I and probably many fans would like a crossover with Magnus and Percy and eventually have a crossover between Carter, Percy, and Magnus.
Aside from that (pardon my redundance)it was an amazing book for me to read just waiting on the Tyrant's Tomb good luck.

Very fun short stories that allow us a glimpse into the other lives, feelings, and personalities that exist in these magical worlds. I also loved the way the stories fluidly connected, helping me to not forget that while these characters and worlds are vastly different, they coexist and thrive together.

Leí muchos comentarios diciendo que devolvieron el libro ya que parecía que las hojas estaban cortadas por tijeras y que era de muy mala calidad, eso hizo que me pusiera a pensar si comprarlo o no y al ver las fotografías de los demás compradores pude notar la similitud que tiene con otro libro que compre hace años sobre el mismo escritor y eso me emociono bastante por que le daba una apariencia a libro de un semidiós o dioses egipcios o dioses nórdicos, que venga en ese formato no significa que sea de mala calidad es para darle ese toque de magia al libro ya que todos estamos acostumbrados a que los libros vengan cortados a la "perfección" pero este libro como muchos otros es perfecto.
PD: SI LO VAS A COMPRAR DISFRUTALO NO VIENE MAL CORTADO.

It is an amazing book. I would recommend this book to all the Rick Riordan fans who think the magnus chase books ended too abruptly. The book tells you what all is going around the 9 worlds through a series of narrations from each of the main characters of the previous books. It really gives insight on how Rick's humor and sarcasm while exploring the the mystical worlds. All of you have a wonderful time and keep reading!!
