Xena: Warrior Princess follows the title character as she seeks redemption for her grisly past.

Accompanied by her soulmate Gabrielle, The Battling Bard of Poutidea, they travel across Greece and beyond, righting wrongs and helping the hopeless.

The show itself incorporates various mythological creatures and dieties of Ancient Greece, as well as the gods and goddesses of many other religions, including Norse, Indian, Christianity and more.

The show is full of action, comedy, and supernatural suspense, great for all ages.

I was gifted a copy of this short story by the author in exchange for an honest review. I made no guarantee of a favorable review.

This short story was a deeply, powerful and meaningful story of the human heart and the capacity of the love it holds told via the use of Norse mythology. It was well written and I certainly did not see what was coming. I love a story that makes me cry upon revealing its most intimate secret. This is truly a must read.

The final entry in Kevin Hearne's Iron Druid series, that closes out the story of Atticus, Oberon and companions as they attempt to stop Ragnarok (yes, that Ragnorak: the Norse end of the world)

I have to say, I also found this one not quite as enjoyable as the previous: I'm not sure why, but for some reason this just didn't grip me as much. This one largely takes it chapter about to move between the main characters: this is no longer just Atticus (and his faithful hound Oberon) story as the earlier entries were.

It's no secret that I've thoroughly enjoyed all of Riordan's mythology based series. My favorite was the Khane Chronicles, but I have to say Magnus Chase is off to a grand start. Norse mythology has such a long & many layered history to it that it fits seamlessly into Riordan's brand of storytelling. As usual there is another great crop of characters as well as a tie in to his old faithful...Percy. I look forward to seeing what other adventures are in store for Magnus & his hall mates as they try to prevent the destruction of the Nine Worlds.

I couldn’t put this book down. From the first page I was captivated. Bought it to take on holiday and had finished it by the morning of the second day. Everything about this book was interesting and entertaining.
It kept you guessing about who some characters were in terms of their Norse gods but that was just part of the fun of it. Brilliant twist at the end that I didn’t see coming until just before.
Shadow’s character kept you wanting more for him, and kept you hoping things would work out in his favour. Can’t wait to pick up the sequel!
