Thanks to the publisher and to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this title.

9 from the Nine Worlds is a fun romp back through the world of Magnus Chase. This book did not seem absolutely necessary as an addition to this world, but it's always enjoyable to go on one more adventure with characters you have grown to enjoy. If you liked Magnus Chase and want to spend a little more time in their world, check out 9 from the Nine Worlds.

Join Thor and our friends from the Norse myth’s as Thor takes a jog through the 9 Worlds to see what is happening. Revisit nine of our friends as each has an adventure in one of the nine worlds. Sure to please readers who are looking for more adventures of the einharji.

9 from the 9 Words is a fun collection of stories that are sure to please Magnus Chase fans. While we don't learn many new details, we do get to peek back into the lives of some of our favorite characters in these often humorous stories. While this collection wouldn't be a great place for new readers to start (there's not a lot of characterization or explanation of setting and relationship dymanics in these stories, as it's assumed the reader has read the rest of the series), those who have read the previous books are sure to walk away hoping for more.

Loved reading this! I wasn't sure what to expect, but this book is so much more than I first thought! So good!

I love anything Rick Riordan puts out and this is no different. I would read the phone book if Rick wrote it. I can't wait for more and this has been one of my favorite series hes done so far

I received a copy of this book from Disney-Hyperion via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

9 from the Nine Worlds is the latest from Rick Riordan's Gods of Asgard series. Like other of his books, 9 from the Nine Worlds is more of a companion book which consists of nine short stories. Each chapter, or story, is told from the point of view of one of Magnus’s friends and each travels to one of the Nine Worlds. We get to see Hearthstone, Alex Fiero, Halfborn, and Blitzen as well as other characters. I truly enjoyed seeing more of the Nine Worlds and getting to hear from some of the other characters in the series. The book is short, making for a quick and enjoyable read. I would recommend this book for fans of mythology and Magnus Chase.

Well, i have read Magnus Chase and i loved it! I just bought the ship of dead yesterday and i nearly forgot that i have review copy of this book. So, yeah, this is my opinion. This tale was... good, good written, good naration, and some good jokes that so-me. But, just like that... i like this book but not my fav. But i think i will give this book 3 stars and appreciate uncle Rick for being a brilliant writer! I will recommend it to my children!

Rick Riordan's 9 From the Nine Worlds is fantastic! I love getting to read more about the characters from Nine Worlds.

I don’t know about you guys, but I was super excited to get my hand on 9 From the Nine Worlds by Rick Riordan! I just recently finished a binge-read of ALL of his books, and after finally reading all of his books, I found myself having major Rick Riordan withdrawals! 9 From the Nine Worlds was just what I needed to temporarily fill the Rick Riordan sized void that I’m currently experiencing at the moment.

9 from the Nine Worlds is a short story by Rick Riordan that is set in the The Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard world. Though that series has already come to an end, this book was a nice little update on what the characters in the series have been up to. Unfortunately, we don’t get to see Magnus Chase in the story at all, (he’s visiting his cousin Annabeth at the time), but we do get to read this story from ALL the fascinating characters that were in the series! Each character that you know and love from the series gets a chapter in this book, and they were all completely fascinating to read.

I have to say it was super fun to go along on the adventures with the characters in this book as they try to stop Ragnarok. Some of the adventures were crazy, and I loved reading them! I would love it if Rick would decide to add more books in the Magnus Chase series, as I totally didn’t want the series to end when it did. I love the series, the storyline, and most especially, the characters!!

Overall, If you’re like me and having major withdrawals after the Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard series ended, you definitely need to check out 9 From the Nine Worlds!! This book was lots of fun to read, and will definitely fill the void that you may be experiencing after having finished the series. (We can always hope that Rick will one day extend the series, right?!) Add 9 From the Nine Worlds to your TBR today!!

Happy Reading!

Thank you for the review copy, Disney-Hyerion and NetGalley. I actually haven't read the Magnus Chase series, but I loved this book. It was my first introduction to the characters in the world of Magnus Chase. I liked each story individually and the way that they related together. The characters were interesting. I'm definitely going to read the Magnus Chase books after reading this one!

This is a wonderful collection of short stories from within the Magnus Chase world. Some were better than others, but I enjoyed all of the stories and would love to see another short story installment like this.

Asgard?

Odin?

Yeah, I'm in! I knew had to have 9 From the Nine Worlds by Rick Riordan! The book has short stories ( all great)! Very entertaining, great to read with your little ones...or their mothers and fathers! Great, great book!

9 from the Nine Worlds is a short, fun, and silly addition to the Magnus Chase universe. There is some continuity through the stories— primarily, Thor running a marathon through the nine worlds— but they all stand on their own. Rather than the harrowing journeys these characters face in the trilogy, these problems are simpler and more easily solved. It adds nothing new to the Magnus Chase universe but would be a fun addition to any hard-core fans’ libraries.
And, for anyone wondering, Alex Fierro is still my favorite.

This book was good for what it is… A companion novel to reimmerse fans in to the Magnus Chase world… without Magnus Chase…. However, as someone who didn’t really enjoy the original trilogy (despite the frequent mention of falafel, YUM!) this book just wasn’t for me. I’m not a fan of the childish humor and quirky dialogue. I can only handle so many fart jokes. I was also not invested in the characters originally and don’t feel any more attached to them after this. People who enjoyed them the first time around will enjoy them in this collection of stories.

Thank you to NetGalley and Disney-Hyperion for a digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book was okay. It's not what I've come to expect from a Riordan tale, but I understand that this is a stand alone supplement just to let the reader reconnect with some of the characters. I enjoyed the story, but it didn't draw me in. Parts of it felt a little bland, but other stories were very good. The story involving the necropants was creepy and that part will stick with me for a while. My students (middle grade readers) will be happy to meet up with some of their friends again, but will be sad that Magnus doesn't make an appearance.

I am a SUCKER for the extras in Rick Riordan’s universes. It was so much fun getting to jump back into this world! I just loved the witty, sarcastic moments with this super fun cast of characters. This was a definite must read for anyone who enjoyed the original trilogy!

Anyone who has read the Magnus Chase novels will already have an appreciation for the kind of humor that Rick Riordan includes in writing them. For those who decided to try this collection of stories to see if they liked the Nine Worlds, here is a quick taste. Odin begins by sharing with us, "My Einherjar have a saying: Some days you are the ax, some days you are the decapitated head. I like it so much, I'm having T-shirts made for the Hotel Valhalla gift shop." So...yes...that's the All-Father, head of the Norse Pantheon, and ruler of Asgard.

The organization of this anthology includes one story set in each of the nine worlds that are interconnected through the World Tree (Asgard, Midgard, Nidavellir, Alfheim, Jotunheim, Helheim, Niflheim, Vanaheim, and Muspellheim), and each story is told by a different character from the Magnus Chase books. There are beserkers, giants, gods and goddesses (including Thor in leather shorts attempting to rack up enough steps on his fitness tracker to win an appearance on a TV show), and even an honorably dead Union soldier. Their adventures range from shopping for clothing suitable for a 50th anniversary celebration to checking the condition of an egg containing "the future foul fowl of Helheim." Each story also gives us a little more about each of these characters, who all have followings among readers of the series and those fans will welcome some quality time with their favorite(s).

Whether you are a Magnus Chase aficionado or a newbie, there are plenty of thrills and laughs within these pages to keep you entertained. (I must warn newbies, however - these are not the Norse myths as you may know them from watching Thor movies. Just saying.) I read an e-book provided by the publisher through NetGalley.

It was so much fun to revisit the worlds and friends of Magnus Chase, whose series ended much too soon, in my opinion. This short collection is a fun jaunt through all nine worlds of the Norse mythologies, as the title implies, but it is so much more. The combination of literary detail with contemporary, light-hearted writing and characters gives Riordan a place of his own in the genre and in the hearts of his fans. Another winner, for sure.

How do you appeal to the younger (late elementary/middle school) readers? You give them a popular series with some recognizable characters and you add some crude humor ("Thor was letting out farts like a sputtering engine.").

This book is nine short stories told from the point of view of different characters. We start with Asgard: Home of the Aesir -"Just Another Decapitated Head" by Odin. The others are:

Midgard: Home of Humans - "This Is Why I Hate Clothes Shopping" by Amir Fadlan
Nidavellir: Home of the Dwarves - "This little Light of Mine, I'm Going to Let It Shine" by Blitzen
Alfheim: Home of the Light Elves - "Speaking of Trolls..." by Hearthstone
Jotunheim: Home of the Giants - "Nice Doggy" by Thomas "T.J." Jefferson
Niflheim" World of Ice, Fog, and Mist - "So's Your Face!" by Mallory Keen
Vanaheim: Home of the Vanir - "Well, That Was a Surprise" by Halfborn Gunderson
Muspellheim: Home of the Fire Giants and Demons - "I Play with Fire" by Alex Fierro

I've enjoyed a number of Riordan books (including the first Magnus Chase book) and he definitely continues his strong sense of character here. He also manages to maintain a sense of playfulness - just look at the titles of those stories! - that will delight the target audience. And what is this target audience? The same youngsters who relish Captain Underpants.

If you are planning to read this because it's a Magnus Chase book - please look it over carefully. It isn't <em>really</em> a Magnus Chase book in the sense that we have Magnus interacting with the Nordic gods. Instead we have a few gods telling stories. This could be very disappointing to a few dedicated Riordan readers but I suspect it will garner a new audience, which is what is likely intended.

I personally wasn't a big fan of these stories, but if youngsters came into my library and asking for recommendations, I can see this being a popular choice.

Looking for a good book? <em>9 from the Nine Worlds</em> by Rick Riordan is part of the Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard collection of books, but the target audience here is a bit younger the those who read the 500 page books.
