review:
'Loki's Wolves' by K.L. Armstrong and M.A. Marr is the first book in a younger readers series set in the world of Norse mythology.
Young Matt Thorsen (say that last name slowly and you'll get it) knows all about Norse myths because, his family are of the lineage of the Norse gods. There are a few kids around him who have a similar lineage. When the kids learn that Ragnarok is coming, they do what they can to try to prevent the end of the world. Traditional enemies must band together if they have any hope.
It's not a bad story, but it never really caught me with the characters. The chapters alternate between the three leads, and the problem is, I never felt like any of them had a particularly unique voice in the narrative. It's probaly a fine stand in for fans of another popular series of books about another type of mythology. I found it to be about average.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Little, Brown Books for Younger Readers and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
