When I saw that this author had a new series coming out I was excited as she is an auto read for me. When I learned that the subject matter was near a book she had previously written I was just as excited as I had read that book and liked it.As this book opened I wasn't sure. I liked Kera right from the start, her floundering in a new situation made me feel for her. I thought she did a great job trying to acclimate to her new world. What made me leery was all the other Crows. I didn't really like them that much, most of them were so mean and didn't do anything to really welcome Kera to her new life. Instead they seemed to make fun of her and throw her to the sharks. As the book went on the Crows grew on me. I did love how all the women embraced Brodie.
Vig had me laughing right away. I loved how Kera viewed him in her before Crow life and how she treated him after. The two of them were cute together! I liked how Vig became a safe place for Kera, that he taught her some special skills she needed in her new life and how he welcomed Brodie as well.
All the Norse mythology was interesting. I liked the clans, how they seemed to be a very dysfunctional family, each sniping at each other. It will be fun to see where this series goes from here.
That's pretty much how I felt Darcy, well put!Looking forward to what happens next.
I agree, Sandra. Looking forward to the next book.
I just started this today and so far it is quite interesting. In just a few pages, the world building is fast AND informative. I like that we learn about this world along with the protagonist, through the actions and dialogue of several other characters.
Kera Watson never expected to face death behind a Los Angeles coffee shop. Not after surviving two tours lugging an M16 around the Middle East. If it wasn’t for her hot Viking customer showing up too late to help, nobody would even see her die.
In uncountable years of service to the Allfather Odin, Ludvig “Vig” Rundstrom has never seen anyone kick ass with quite as much style as Kera. He knows one way to save her life—but she might not like it. Signing up with the Crows will get Kera a new set of battle buddies: cackling, gossiping, squabbling, party-hearty women. With wings. So not the Marines.
But Vig can’t give up on someone as special as Kera. With a storm of oh-crap magic speeding straight for L.A., survival will depend on combining their strengths: Kera’s discipline, Vig’s loyalty… and the Crows’ sheer love of battle. Boy, are they in trouble
