The Doom of Odin

I Just finished The Grimnir Saga #3 The Doom of Odin by Scott Oden and here are my thoughts.

I did read book 2 before I read this one and honestly, this book wouldn't work as a standalone in my opinion.

I love books that center around norse mythos and I have come to love the almost immortal warrior. His character building was the best part about the book for me. His main objective is to bring down a creature who brings plagues wherever he roams.

I love fantasy books and this one was super sonic dark and had some pretty bad inconsistencies for the time it is apparently set which rubbed me right up the wrong way.

The writing style is a bit different and not my usual cup of tea but the storyline was interesting enough that it wasn't a deal breaker. It was a slow burn which isn't sometime I like much, had the pace been a bit quicker, I think this book would have been a winner for me. The story gets pretty complex in places so this isn't the book for someone looking for some light fantasy. This book has a lot of intricacy and you really need to be fully invested to get the most out of this book.
