Odin's Ravens by K.L. Armstrong
4.0
Odin's Ravens picks up right after the events of Loki's Wolves. Matt, Fen and Laurie are headed to Hel to bring back their dead friend Baldwin. They hope that this mission will stop Ragnarok since Baldwin's death is to start the apocalypse. In Hel they find Viking zombies, a river of acid, giants and Aunt Helen who agrees to help them. Once back in the real world they find that Ragnarok has not stopped and things are still progressing at a dangerous clip. Owen (Odin) enters the picture and decides to help them even though it limits his knowledge. Matt needs to find Mjolnir (Thor's hammer). There are Valkyries, more Viking Zombies, wolves and battle goats! Seriously there are battle goats! It is an exciting time to be the living embodiment of a Viking God.
I think this series is a lot of fun. It is definitely for fans of Rick Riordan's books and actually reminds me of them a lot. There is a lot of action and adventure, but you really learn about Norse Mythology. I like how the mythology isn't shoved down the reader's throat through a lot of exposition, but comes up naturally throughout the story. It is fun and fast-paced and I really can't wait to see where the final book goes. The ending of this one was a bit of a slap in the face and I really want to see that resolved.
