The Lost Sun by Tessa Gratton
5.0
I love Gratton's United States of Asgard books. Because I have to read so much for the Campbell Memorial Award and student writing, her US of A books ([b:THE LOST SUN|13021366|The Lost Sun (The United States of Asgard, #1)|Tessa Gratton|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1362068810s/13021366.jpg|18183974] and book 2, [b:THE STRANGE MAID|18301603|The Strange Maid (The United States of Asgard, #2)|Tessa Gratton|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1396739924s/18301603.jpg|25790139]) are the first novels I've read for fun in months. And what a perfect pleasure these are!
I could hardly put down [b:THE LOST SUN|13021366|The Lost Sun (The United States of Asgard, #1)|Tessa Gratton|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1362068810s/13021366.jpg|18183974] - the first time that happened for a few months! It's a love-story road-trip through a fantastic alternate USA where the Norse gods actually live and interact with us, from the point of view of a troubled young berserker. No easy solutions here, and it'll keep you up late reading how things work out for our protagonists, too.
If you like alternate history, Norse mythology and gods, romance, YA fantasy, and the triumph of the human spirit, you'll love this book. Be sure to also read book 2, [b:THE STRANGE MAID|18301603|The Strange Maid (The United States of Asgard, #2)|Tessa Gratton|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1396739924s/18301603.jpg|25790139], which gets even more wonderful!
I'm really looking forward to Gratton's next work.
