So i got this book about 4 days ago from pre ordering it and well, i finished it pretty fast, so i thought i'd write a little review. I think this book would be for anyone that has read any other of the books written by Rick Rhiodan, such as the Percy Jackson series or the Kane Chronicles. So far he'd put a modern day spin on the Greek, Roman and Egyptian Gods, and with this he has expanded his range to that of the Norse gods, following his normal theme of the use of Demi gods or decedents of demi gods. Please don't read any further if you don't want to read any Spoilers.
So the book starts off with Magnus chase, a homeless boy of 16 on the streets, he's been on the streets for two years since his mother died in a fire where he swear he saw wolves. Then it all kicks off with his old family members trying to find him, big fight on a bridge special sword and thrown into stopping Ragnarok, the Norse version of the end of the world. If you've read this far i know you've read the book and if not that's not my fault, but in all honesty i liked this much more than his previous works. It took what we see in the marvel verse of Loki and Thor and gave it its own spin, Loki more twisted, the acid on his face, his snake like tongue, where as Thor is dumbed down and less, Hollywood if that makes sense. It set the story up for more of a series which i think has more potential that percy jackson as i found that tended to drag where as this i couldn't stop reading. Dwarves, Elves, Giants, Gods, Valhalla, that with the Norse end of the world, made for a fun read and i'd highly recommend it.
The best bit for me that was Thor wasn't the star of the show, instead Frey got most of the spotlight without having too big of a part.
