What happened?! I was enjoying the hell out of this book--right up to the last sentence. Wha...? The cliffhanger (seemingly mid-sentence) ending ruined the whole thing for me. Heavy sigh.

Writers, why do you do this? I can't think of one author that I read on a regular basis that has such a weak writing style that they need to rely on this most irritating of trends. I just don't understand it.

It also took away any enthusiasm that I had for reviewing this book so I'll leave it with my favorite quotes and a general grade. My quotes may indicate some of the glee experienced while reading; this review indicates how I felt about the ending.

Favorite quotes/highlights from Kindle:
I looked upward and had difficulty focusing on anything much, due to severe squirrel turbulence.
Note: Best line ever.


Note: Gotta love Oberon

It’s bloody difficult to concentrate properly when you’re dying of renal failure and all your brain can do is squeal.
Note: Ya think?

Overall: C ( )

I am sorry to say I didn't like this at all. Ok, that's not quite true, it had some really good moments. But overall the story is a disappointment. For one, Oberon is missing for most of the book. Then Atticus gets himself onto a collisions course with fate. Fine, no problem, but I didn't like the ending at all, there is hinting of bad things to happen, then they actually happen, and then the book ends. This was too unfinished or too to-be-continued-in-another-book, especially for this kind of series. This is quite simply not the kind of series where a cliffhanger like this ends with fits. I am going to ask friends if it gets better again before I continue. I don't like this! ( )

I gave up 85% of the way through because I was so utterly fed up. The logical heir to Butcher and Dresden, my butt. Only if it had been butchered. I'd have to be completely hammered to finish this. I'm not even sure if by alcohol or by the actual weapon, either.

I... I don't understand how this book can be so utterly, unapologetically awful. I mean, Atticus is the epitome of a Gary Stu, but the pacing and plotting of this book was just.. just.. I'm speechless at the awfulness of this book. ( )

Minor spoilers in the review.

I wasn't expecting this - but i liked the first book, the second was "okay" and this one is just not fun for me. The main characters motivation is poorly explained but he kills stuff and people for unbelievable reasons. Also he is just a druid but he outsmarts any god of course... Do i care about the new characters that join him on the quest? No. And also no - i don't want to hear stories from four people sitting around a fire. That is just bad story telling.
Well - enough good books out there - i won't continue this series. ( )

Book description
Thor, the Norse god of thunder, is worse than a blowhard and a bully—he’s ruined countless lives and killed scores of innocents. After centuries, Viking vampire Leif Helgarson is ready to get his vengeance, and he’s asked his friend Atticus O’Sullivan, the last of the Druids, to help take down this Norse nightmare.

One survival strategy has worked for Atticus for more than two thousand years: stay away from the guy with the lightning bolts. But things are heating up in Atticus’s home base of Tempe, Arizona. There’s a vampire turf war brewing, and Russian demon hunters who call themselves the Hammers of God are running rampant. Despite multiple warnings and portents of dire consequences, Atticus and Leif journey to the Norse plain of Asgard, where they team up with a werewolf, a sorcerer, and an army of frost giants for an epic showdown against vicious Valkyries, angry gods, and the hammer-wielding Thunder Thug himself
