Mjolnir by Brian James
4.0
Mjolnir by Brian James is a fantasy novel mixed with the present day. The Norse gods have given up their god-hood to be "regular" people on earth. Each one is living their lives how they so choose. However, Ragnorak is coming. Odin is trying to prepare for it because he knows that it will mean his end, but of course, things aren't going according to plan. Signs of the end are everywhere. The variety of characters that we are introduced to throughout the story is great. I enjoy that the story doesn't focus on just one or two characters but gives us a fine sprinkling of each type.
This book has quite a few laughs and giggles throughout it. I personally would have liked more action to keep the storyline engaging. I really like that we gets glimpses into other "realms" or parts of the worlds. It's interesting especially when the author gives us unexpected elements and moments. The author piques your interest and pulls you in. There are some moments of where I feel that the characters go a bit overboard with their actions, but seeing as they still view themselves as gods (depsite what they say) it makes sense.
This book could do with another round of editing because there are some spots of where words are missing. Plus, I would have liked it if the chapters had been broken up according to whoever was the current focus. I feel it would have helped the flow of the story since it jumped from one character to the next.
Overall, I'm rating this book 4 out of 5 stars. It's a good story, but needs a bit of work to make it great.
