5.0
The review was first posted on For The Love of Fictional Worlds
Actual Rating 4.5 Stars
I received a digital copy of the book via the author in exchange for an honest review.
To be very honest, I have Uncle Rick to thank for my interest in mythology be it Greek or Egyptian or lately, Norse Mythology. So when I saw the author's post on Goodreads requesting for reviews - I basically without thought jumped on the bandwagon and never really looked back! :P
"Lying to liar makes for an interesting game."
Kenna has an ability - not a gift - but an ability to see in the future, but only about seconds into the future - not exactly the hotbed of activity nor is it useful. She has only two friends - Fiske, her best friend and his girlfriend, Parker.
"Last I checked, being superior, even in every way shape and form, did not necessarily make someone a god."
Everything changes when Luka enters the scene. He is arrogant, sarcastic little (not really) dweeb that you can't help but adore. He is rude, irritating, narcissistic know it all with a body that a hotness level of the sun! And he has the answers that Kenna need to understand what exactly is happening in her life.
"No one with hair this cool reads."
"No one cool enough to read needs to give a shit about their hair."
Kenna is an amazing protagonist.. She is not the simpering female who needs someone to hold her hand and walk her through life. She has been dealt with the harshest of hands, and yet comes out with her dignity and self respect intact. In fact, it is hard not to like her. She acknowledges that Luka is hot, yet seems to ignore that aspect when interacting with him (Girl, has amazing self - control! Just saying :P).
She has been dealt blow after blow and thrust into a world she doesn't understand nor she wants to, at first! Yet she shows incredible intelligence when dealing with each situation she is thrust into - from betrayals, to fights, to a curse that she doesn't have clue about!
"I introduced myself because of what you are. I stayed because of who you are. It's that simple."
Luka and Kenna's interactions are downright hilarious, not to mention adorable. They are amazing together - not because of their chemistry, but because they are the anti-thesis of each other. Besides, I give you one guess as to which Norse god Luka is supposed to be :P
The writing is perfect and I absolutely flew through the whole book in less than 3 hours (admittedly it was the middle of the night and there were no interruptions). The only problem is that the book ended on quite an ambiguous tone - which begs me to ask, Ms. Avery pleas tell me there is going to be a sequel, because if there isn't, I don't think you would want hordes of bookworms (lead by me!) camping on your doorstep :P
