The Fires of Muspelheim

“It's going to end, regardless,” Odin said. “This time, it ends on my terms.”

If you are reading reviews for this final book in the series, I guess you are already at least somewhat familiar with the series itself, or interested in the Norse stories. It shouldn't come as a surprise that things are bound to look grim. For everyone.

Granted, I knew the end was inevitable. That didn't make it any easier, though, to see all these characters I'd gotten to know so well face their final battles.

The series finale pulls out all the stops: it starts off in the prologue with a bang, and it doesn't let up until the very end.

Odin, Thor, and the rest of the gang versus Hel and her undead armies. And Fenrir and his varulfur. And the Deathless legions from Miklagard. And the fire jotunnar from Muspelheim...
Sounds like the end of the world as you know it? You betcha!

“Time to smite some more.” ;)
