The Lost Sun by Tessa Gratton
4.0
This book does not have a dystopian or a dysfunctional government (a miracle) and it's not the future in which we have destroyed ourselves or the earth (what a relief). It is the U.S. as it would be if the Vikings and their Norse pantheon were its founding fathers. The gods are real and even participate in holidays and such.
One of the things I liked about this book is that it isn't just about Thor or Loki, but rather the lesser-known god Baldur. Baldur disappears and Odin offers a boon to whoever can find him. Of course there are a couple of teenagers who happen to be destined to be our unlikely heroes. They set out to recover the beloved Baldur the Beautiful and to claim their prize.
I really like what Tessa Gratton has done with the Norse mythology here. This is good read I highly recommend. With a cast of interesting characters and a unexpected twist at the end.
