Why this order?

These stories are generally considered non-essential post-trilogy content, connected loosely by Thor's side plot, and were published after the main trilogy concluded.

Why This Order Is Confusing

Many reading lists for Magnus Chase And The Gods Of Asgard conflict because early publishers often labeled short story collections as standalone novels, or rearranged internal chronologies for marketing.
