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.
