Beloved characters from the Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard series star in these hilarious and imaginative new 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.

The Siren
Another myth-rooted YA tale of outsiders finding their people, but this one centers a doomed romance and melancholy mood rather than comic quest banter.
Always and Forever, Lara Jean
Keeps the warm chosen-and-blended-family heart of the seed's crew, but trades gods and giants for contemporary teen romance and senior-year nerves.
Fangirl
Also built on fandom-adjacent misfits and found-family warmth, but it's a contemporary teen romance with real-world hurt instead of comic mythological quests.
Fangirl, Vol. 3
Same fandom-warm found-family vibe and nerdy humor, but it's a college-set romance with actual kissing instead of monster-fighting myth capers.
Bare necessity
Also about a person rebuilding life with an unlikely surrogate family, but it's adult romantic comedy with dating and mild heat, not myth.
The chocolate lovers' wedding
Keeps the tight friend-group-as-family warmth, though it swaps Norse quests for adult women's-fiction romance with mild on-page heat.
