Sweeping adventure, breathtaking twists of fate, and immersive worlds based in Norse mythology are woven into this first volume of the Runestone Saga, from the New York Times bestselling author of the Seven Realms and Shattered Realms series.

Since Ragnarokâ??the great war between the gods and the forces of chaosâ??the human realm of the Midlands has become a desperate and dangerous place, bereft of magic.

Sixteen-year-old Eiric Halvorsen is among the luckier onesâ??his family has remained prosperous. But he stands to lose everything when he's wrongly convicted by a rigged jury of murdering his modir and stepfadir. Also at risk is Eiric's half-systir, Liv, who's under suspicion for her interest in seidr, or magic. Then a powerful jarl steps in: He will pay the blood price if Eiric will lead a mission to the fabled Temple at the Groveâ??the rich stronghold of the wyrdspinners, the last practitioners of sorcery.

Spellsinger, musician, and runecaster Reginn Eiklund has spent her life performing at alehouses for the benefit of her master, Asger, a fire demon she is desperate to escape. After one performance that amazes even herself, two wyrdspinners in the audience make Reginn an irresistible offer: return with them to the Temple to be trained in seidr, forever free of Asger.

Eiric's, Liv's, and Reginn's journeys converge in New Jotunheim, a paradise fueled by magic and the site of the Temple. They soon realize that a great evil lurks beneath the dazzling surface and that old betrayals and long-held grudges may fuel another cataclysmic war. It will require every gift and weapon at their command to prev… (plus d'informations)

Gr 7 Up—Eiric and Reginn, a Viking and a foundling with magic, are both set on separate quests to find the island
refuge for sorcerers in this Norse adventure. Infused with themes of justice, autonomy, and found family, Chima's
series opener is a tapestry of satisfying plot twists and nuanced worldbuilding

I am excited for book #2 in the Runestone Saga series, I can't wait to see what happens to these characters next. I love Eric and his sister's relationship and their willingness to help each other out of sticky situations. I loved the inclusion of the Norse mythology beyond the characters and information we see in all the mainstream movies (i.e., Odin, Thor, Loki). I like that the book had dark parts, like the death of parents, grandparents, and children, and that it wasn't all happy endings. ( )

This has plenty of elements I like. Interesting characters, plot twists, nice world building, plenty of tight situations, and an ending that sets you up perfectly for the second book. ( )
