telthor 's review for:
Age of Myth
by Michael J. Sullivan
Easy breezy writing, with sassy characters and snarky comedy intermingled with a delightfully weighty Norse-type fantasy realm, with gods and magic and bone casting and demons and ordinary humans trying to survive in a world that really doesn't want them to be there at all. It's rich and warm and lush, and I feel like it would have been five stars if I could just have focused on it for more than ten pages at a time. I think it's COVID, I can't concentrate on books, but it did somehow keep losing my attention.
But, I think that was me, not the book.
The characters are richly drawn, and the world has a weight to it. Events have consequences. It's compelling and strong, but perhaps the cast is a little too large. I had a hard time keeping track of who was on what side. Again, I'm just COVID-befuddled, so this is mostly a pointless review, just for my own later references when I go to recommend it to people.
I didn't even see the twist coming, and that was all together delightful.
For my own reference, it was Mostly Skyrim, with a dose of the Rohirrim and a touch of The Witcher, with some good snarky sassy sarcastic characters to boost it up. Highly recommended to Sanderson or Hobb people.
