The story over all was great. Very much in line with the tone of the MCU Asgard I felt. The ending (like the very last page) was too soft for me, but oh well. I have the next Legends of Asgard novel here at the house and I can't wait to get into it. After I finish the other two books I'm still reading that is. ( )

On one hand this is the story of a man trying to prove his value to his family. On the other hand it's a story about a man trying to prove that his pride did not put him in a position that he cannot handle. And then there's his half brother who goaded him into the whole situation in the first place just to start a fight between himself and his younger brother. Tyr going through the realm of fire all for a sword was a good story. I'm familiar with the Marvel comics Thor stories and Tyr rarely shows up. Having the spot light on him actually expanded on the realm of Asgard more then Thors comics have done. The story is simple enough for a young comic reader but also good enough for someone who has read comic books for decades. ( )
