Wonderful mix or urban fantasy and Norse paranormal romance in Andrijeski’s unique style
“Thor” marks the start to a new urban fantasy series by J.C. Andrijeski (“Gods on Earth”), a delightful new story featuring the Norse Pantheon in a way you might have not been expected, unless you’re already a fan of Andrijeski’s, then you have already learn to expect the unexpected, been awed every single time and enjoy the ride 😊
“Thor” has been in my TBP list for while and scheduled TBR in about over two months for now; I got the book unexpectedly (keyword when dealing with Andrijeski) two days ago, I tried to put it on ‘its’ TBR place, no chance “Thor” demands your attention. I just wanted to take a quick peek, and after two coffee breaks later and another night short of sleep, I finished fully entertained, yet not fully satisfied, for that I still to read “Loki”, “Tyr” and any other Norse God story in the series coming my way. Andrijeski is addictive – I already knew that – expect the unexpected; However, always paired with non-stop-reading session, fast-paced action, humor (dark and otherwise), carefully world-building that mix elements of urban fantasy, Norse mythology (and she gets it right!) and paranormal romance, all perfectly wrapped up in Andrijeski unique writing style.
Just in case you want a peek at the story: As Jörmungandr (Jör for short and Loki’s son) steals the Andvaranaut (An Asgardian relic) and brings it to Earth, Thor follows him, only to get sidetracked in the transfer and appear wielding Mjölnir and bare-skinned in a club in front of Silvia Hope (FMC). As Silvia follows Thor and witness a confrontation between Thor and Jör, she finds herself at the center of fight for the Andvaranaut, that will get her through realms. Silvia reactions and Thor’s obviously ‘God out of Asgard’ (aka ‘fish out of water’) reactions are a source of never-ending enjoyment. Thor is funny, to the point of whimsical but absolutely credible at all times, while Silvia (in her state of shock) just seems to take everything in stride. Another Andrijeski’s best… just beware of side effects… such as lack of sleep, reddened eyes and an over-caffeinated head, or schedule a nice daytime reading session to avoid them 😉
