A few thoughts on For Magnus Chase: Hotel Valhalla guide to the Norse worlds
Riordan plays the Norse pantheon for laughs, but the same gods anchor God of War, where Kratos and his son cross paths with Baldur, Freya and the World Serpent in a grave, gorgeous retelling. It is the fastest way to see the myths behind the Hotel Valhalla jokes rendered at full weight.
Thor, Loki, Odin and Ragnarok played for real stakes
This handbook walks the Nine Worlds with profiles of Thor, Loki and Odin and notes on the einherjar waiting out Ragnarok, the same mythology that powers Thor: Ragnarok's fight among the gods, God of War's father and son crossing Midgard, Hellblade's descent through a Norse underworld, Ragnarok's modern-day retelling, and Skyrim's frost giants and dragon-haunted north.
