A fun little book, I enjoyed this series though I think it is flawed in as many ways as are the characters. To begin, although I like all the characters, I cannot identify with anyone of them. There are so many descendents and yet not one could I sympathize with.

- Matt is good but he is a bit too naive and I feel as lost as he is as to his position to fight in Ragnarok.
- Then there is Fen, who is a tsundere to his core and I like the friendship between Baldwin and him but Fen is way off the chart to identify with.
- Laurie is protected all the time by the people around her and I feel only Owen and Helen know her true value.
- Baldwin is the nice nice guy here and the mood maker. Without him, I guess we are looking at an army of depressed descendents! Still, he is not very useful considering he is supposed to be invincible.
- The twins only have a tiny role in this book (and they have proven themselves to be so annoying I am glad they are not given a bigger role in the book).
- I dislike Owen as much as I dislike Odin in the myth. Usually, the deep and all knowing is my type but then these charcters are also very secretive and make you want to choke them so they spill the beans.

The plot seems dense but it's like a RPG game, you just get thrown from one dungeon to the next, beating the boss and advancing to the next level. A lot seems to have happened but really, the plot has advanced very little since Loki's wolves. I am still looking forward to the final installment in this series and hopes it delivers.
