They said the Gods were myth. That the Giants were only stories told around dying fires. They lied.<\/strong>

The Gods aren\u2019t dead\u2014they\u2019re only sleeping, locked in mortal bodies, scattered across the world, waiting for the right spark to wake them. And my father is the most ruthless of them all.

He raised me to obey. To bleed. To be his blade when the time came. Now he\u2019s sending me to Endir University, a place filled with ancient bloodlines and deadly secrets, to steal back Mjolnir, the hammer of legend. If I fail, everyone I love dies.<\/p>\n\n\n

I’m always impressed by authors who can create these types of worlds. My sister is the same way and I’m always bugging her to write a book. So kudos to you authors! This is also my first Rachel Van Dyken book that I’ve read even though I’ve “known” her for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for this book. I really enjoyed it. I’m not a huge enemies to lovers reader. No reason really. It’s just not a trope I search for when picking up a book. But I enjoyed it in this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I loved the mythology parts and I’m always fascinated by those topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We meet Rey who is assigned a mission by her dear old dad and she has a week to do it. What could go wrong right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then we meet Aric, who’s a sleeping giant and is grumpy and miserable and I was digging it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This book had quite a few twists and turns that I couldn’t predict. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can’t wait for book two and I look forward to reading the rest of this series. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
