So, so, so good! I have always been big on Norse mythology, but have never really read many books about it. When I found this series, I couldn't wait to get started. I was hesitant at first, since my library only had it on audiobook, but now I'm SO glad it ended up that way! This is the first audiob...

You know, a lot of people go all gloom and doom about the end of the world, without ever bothering to ask ‘what happens next?’. I mean, obviously since it’s the end of the world, not much...but then again, maybe something. Read the rest of my review and more at BibliobibuliYA.com

Read this review, and many more on my blog October Tune!A while ago, I had been looking for books about Norse Mythology. Of course, I found a lot of non-fiction books that I will give a try soon, but I also found ‘Runemarks’. The summary sounded very interesting to me, in fact it was the only fictio...

Dropped my plans to read this one due to the author's treatment of book bloggers.http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/647505991http://joannechocolat.tumblr.com/post/53587505805/a-storm-in-a-tweecup-or-dont-shit-in-the-sandbox

First, I'll just leave this here:Review:I was supposed to love this book. The Norse influence was very strong with this one, and the author had a wonderful take on one of my favorite "gods," Loki (I loved him before he was cool - totally hipster of me). Not even a fabulous Loki, however, could help...

I made one big pause while reading, so my thoughts are not 100% coherent; I also don't have time for a detailed review right now. I'll just say what made me decide on five rather than four.-YA WITH FEMALE PROTAGONIST BUT NO ROMANCE. (No, no potential love interests introduced either.)-Despite target...

I almost didn't read this book to be honest, the cover and the synopsis on the back did little to recommend it. Had it not been for the comments on Goodreads, which gave a greater detail of the story, I never would have read this book. If I were Harris, I would have been enraged at the person who w...

I couldn't finish this one; I just got bored. A lot of my problem was the reader; Sile Bermingham has a lovely voice but she's not Norse. Quick aside: why on earth are northern folk voiced in Irish and Scotch? For instance, this book (I am going to call Ms. Bermingham's accent Irish, though I haven'...
