Synopsis
Atikus might have gone over his head last time, making promises he doesn't wish to fulfill, but is honored bound too. He promised the Hindu witch Laksha and his vampire attorney Lief to go to Asgard; for the first to get a golden apple that will grant her a really long life, for the second a fight in hopes of getting rid of the big bad bully that is Thor.
But before he can go and fight Thor he has to deal with with stuff he has left unfinished, like the hammers of God and beware of the bacchus, you know the typical trying to get revenge sorta thing.
Review
Kevin Hearne does it again, he plays with the rounds of mythology, supernatural, legends, religion and more; to create a great story that feels like a new sense of those things you thought you knew. It's not a formal book, but it threats every one of the implied genres with a respect it deserves, it messes around with gods, goddesses and religious icons that instead of thinking "oh no he didn't" you go for a "moooore moooore I want to know more about X character".
Story wise Kevin knows how to wrap you in this story where you get a great dose of action, geekiness, laughs and maybe a few cries or that awkward knot in your throat that warns you about the high probability of rain in your eyes. Even thought we wont be getting all the Oberon magic we are used to, he shows us that Oberon isn't the only one that can make us crack a smile or a good laugh.
It seems like Kevin Hearne has fallen sense of comfort with the world he has created and the characters that live in it, but you must beware for sometimes as when he gives you a really good laugh or a monumental moment he finds a way to scar you a little making average things never the same, if you don't know what I'm talking about, it will all become clear the moment you stumble into it in this book.
This book was really hard to read, why? Because I didn't want it to end, I made stupid excuses and made long long pauses between reads because if it would last just a little longer, the less time I had to wait before the next book comes out, and that is april 2012.
Rating: 10 out of 10
