Runemarks (Runemarks, #1)
by
"Similar as above, but also one of best integrations of Norse Mythology into the story. Sure, it's toned down for the audience, but the essence is still there. Also, it evades many YA tropes."

Nine Fairy Tales and One More Thrown in for Good Measure
by
"There are many other European works that deserve recognition, but this one is one of the most underrated everywhere. With the new trend of trying to make "adult" fairytales relevant to modern life, everyone seems to be skipping the work that already does it. "
