The Apples of Idunn by Matt Larkin

1.0

*1 star because I had to, really 0 stars*

Such a fucking snore-fest. Odin is a whiney little bitch. Poor emo boy, no one can be as sad as he is. Cry, bitch, repeat. The only one even vaguely interesting is Tyr, but he's not the star. Instead, we have whiney, bitchy Odin who thinks he's better and sadder than anyone else. Also, women are dangerous she-devils who are only good for fucking. Meanwhile, this book can't pick a damn tone and style. It jumps between being a poor man's Tolkien or trying to be some modern-day Viking tale. Go read [b:Prince of Fools|18693743|Prince of Fools (The Red Queen's War, #1)|Mark Lawrence|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1385072473l/18693743._SY75_.jpg|25595312] instead. While I haven't finished the whole series, that one book if far better than this garbage. DNF at 7% (28 pages).
