I bring the Fire turned out to be a page turner, similar to The Maze Runner. The advantage of a story built on mythology is the marginal effort you need to put into your world building. Most of us are familiar with norse mythology, be it in the classic way or through modern pop-culture. The author gives a minimum of context nonetheless. The story follows Loki, who is searching for his children, that were condemned by Odin to die in the Void for questioning his monarchy. Loki strands in Midgard and hears someone praying for help. The rescued woman is our second main character: Amy, blonde, naive, huge bosom. Their paths interlock on the quest to find Lokis sons and ex-wife. I bring the Fire is the first part of a series that has the potential for a very entertaining movie but unfortunately it's lightness and humour makes it less deep and mysterious. Which I presonally treasure, because it's Norse myths (!!) with Valkyries, powerful gods and beasts, that shake the earth alone by uttering their names. Gockels take on this is rather Greek. More focussed on the human side of the gods (drink, fuck, lie and cheat) than on their magnificence as deities and rules of worlds. I liked most of the elements. The plot is action driven with a good portion of humour, based on a norse God, namely Loki, being a bit overstressed by the modern midgard with it's iPhones, loud cars and computers. The story is told from several POVs, which benefits the plot and gives the reader a better overwiev of the world, since Loki and Amy are more or less pursuing different agendas, eventhough they travel together. The characterization only goes deeper with Loki, showing us some of his past through flashbacks. I liked the political notes on democracy, which imerges as an idea in Asgard or the social segregation in the realm of the dark elves. The book is stuffed with magical creatures: unicorns, elves, dinosaurs, norse beasts, man-eating plants etc. All in all, if you look for a supernatural quick read with familiar "faces". This is your book~
