ODIN'S RAVENS by K. L. Armstrong and M. A. Marr is a
glorious coming of age story! As the Journey continues
for our friends Matt Thorson, Champion of Thor, and Fen
and Laurie Brekke, decedents of Loki, we see how Hel, nor
zombies, nor delusional family members can stand in the
way of our heroes.
In this second book in the Blackwell Pages, we
follow our
friends to Hel to save one of their own, and back to the
world they call home. They go from fighting zombies to
fighting wolves, back to warrior zombies in this tale of
mythology meets coming of age. The exciting battles and
crazy predicaments keep us guessing.
ODIN'S RAVENS is yet again a masterpiece. Armstrong and
Marr have yet again taken mythology and molded a story
that is not just pure entertainment, but a wonderful
learning opportunity in disguise. ODIN'S RAVENS is even
better than the first of this series as it continues to
grow our heroes into the warriors we know they are. I am
waiting on pins and needles for the next installment, I
don't know where Armstrong and Marr will take us, but I
know I will go willingly.
Seven kids, Thor's hammer, and a whole lot of Valkyries
are the only things standing against the end of the
world.
When thirteen-year-old Matt Thorsen, a
modern day descendant of the Norse god Thor, was chosen to
represent Thor in an epic battle to prevent the apocalypse
he thought he knew how things would play out. Gather the
descendants standing in for gods like Loki and Odin,
defeat
a giant serpent, and save the world. No problem,
right?
But the descendants' journey grinds to a
halt
when their friend and descendant Baldwin is poisoned and
killed and Matt, Fen, and Laurie must travel to the
Underworld in the hopes of saving him. But that's only
their
first stop on their journey to reunite the challengers,
find
Thor's hammer, and stop the apocalypse--a journey filled
with enough tooth-and-nail battles and larger-than-life
monsters to make Matt a legend in his own right.
