Greta speaks to us with power words. We should listen her more, and listen again once in a while. She has the power to move masses, to make people shiver. And in this difficult times we need the power of believes to make us change the world - whether we like it or not.

When I started it I found it slow and boring. Didn't like the way it was rewritten, although I'm a lover of norse mythology. Then after a long pause, when I picked it up again, I found it more engaging and I actually enjoyed reading it. I think the last myths are the best ones, expecially Ragnarok is my favourite one. Enjoy your read!

This was so tense. I started it eager to know how the story would develop, while in the middle the pace slowed down. But in the end it's a riffle of gripping plottwists and breathtaking revelations. I really ended up in chaos. I think I'll have to wait a few days before starting the third one, but I definitely want to know how this story will (sadly, I wish it was eternal) end.
