For Magnus Chase: Hotel Valhalla, Guide to the Norse Worlds (Magnus Chase 1.5) By Rick Rordan

Blurb:
So you've made it to Valhalla. Now what? This "who's who" guide to the gods, goddesses, and other important figures of Norse mythology was commissioned by Helgi, who, after more than a millennium as manager of Hotel Valhalla, became fed up with answering the same questions from newly deceased heroes at check-in. The profiles provide essential stats, interviews, and personal reflections so you can identify the gods and avoid those awkward introductions. Handy facts about other beings round out this go-to tome. You'll never see Ratatosk as a cute little rodent or confuse a dwarf with an elf ever again!
My Thoughts:
If you have ever read on of Rick's book you would know that that is usually a companion book or a guide book that goes with the series. sometimes there is one or there could be more. I find this super helpful. not only does it help  you learn more about the characters in the book but if you ever forget something it is a great reference. I find if i am reading other books that have to do with mythology i can just look in one of Ricks books and i will get a brief overview of the character that i  need help with. I really enjoyed the interviews with the gods that are in this book. it was a fast read but you don't want to read this book for the series you don't have to but overall a good read.
