I thought this was a super fun start to middle grade series, featuring norse myths. I really liked how the story was structures and enjoyed the pacing. I also liked the characters. I thought with so many characters it was hard to feel connected to all of them and felt the plot was a tad dis jointed in the middle and wish it was clearer. I loved the norse elements that made the story and world built. I will de check out book 2! ( )

Loki's Wolves is a truly fantastical, middle grade novel that focuses on Norse mythology.

I love Kelley Armstrong and I've been dying to get my hands on a novel by Marissa Marr for YEARS. So, when I heard that the two of them were writing a novel together I had to get my hands on it! On top of it all, I love a good, middle grade novel that I can sink my teeth into and not think *too* hard when reading.

Loki's Wolves has Percy Jackson vibes, but for a little younger base. Matt Thorsen is, you guessed it, a descendant of Thor, and of course he's the chosen one! He has been chosen to defeat a mythical serpent that will aid in the destruction of Ragnarok. Laurie and Fen are descendants of Loki, and they will join Matt on his epic quest. Along the way, they must find the children and descendants of the other Norse gods and try not to make their corresponding tales come true.

This book leaves itself on a WILD cliffhanger. I NEED to know what happens, and unfortunately for me I don't have the next novel in my hands yet. The story does not stand alone, which is a real shame. I totally get leaving a cliffhanger so your audience wants to keep reading, but MAN I AM FRUSTRATED. The story just stopped, it didn't end!

These 13 year old leads were shockingly like 13 year olds! Sometimes when you read a book like this, the leads act like adults. Lucky for us, Kelley and Marissa are amazing writers and were able to craft characters that felt like their age. They make silly mistakes, they trust people they shouldn't and sometimes they are down right goofy. What more can you expect from a pre-teen cast? Especially when said pre-teens are the chosen ones who need to save the planet.

The plot itself is fast paced, full of fun surprises, and has lots of literal fun. This is a fantasy novel, so it's not going to be some Oscar winning, realistic drama. It has monsters and amulets and silly tricks (I mean, you've got Loki in the title... what did you expect?). To me, I think it's the perfect way to introduce the middle grade audience into Norse mythology. It's a fun story with just enough mythology to make it interesting! Also, I totally binged it in a few hours. It was THAT good.

I'd highly recommend this book. Seriously, whether it's for your middle grade readers or adults who just want to sink into a good, fun book! I loved it and I'll definitely be continuing this series if I can ever find the sequels.

Five out of five stars! ( )

An excellent choice if you like Rick Riordan's Lightning Thief -- gods on earth, betrayals, new friendships forged and old myths remembered in a mile-a-minute story arc. ( )
