Thunder Road by Chadwick Ginther

4.0

Thunder Road tells the story of Ted, who was “touched by the Nine Worlds” when he was exposed to the fire giant Surtur during an explosion while working the oil sands in Alberta. After the giant wreaks havoc on the patch and changes Ted’s life forever, he moves to Winnipeg for a fresh start. But once he is exposed to the Nine Worlds of legend, Ted is pulled into the world of Norse Mythology. He is tied down by strangers in a hotel room and branded with markings that give him the power of the gods. I won’t say what happens with the tattoos, because learning about them and what they are capable of is one of the coolest parts of the book and I don’t want to ruin it. Let’s just say he ends up on a world-saving road trip across Manitoba with Loki and a fortune-telling love interest along for the ride.

I felt like the editing could have been a little tighter, but overall it was a fun read. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes urbran fantasy or has any kind of interest in mythology. I’m curious to see where this trilogy goes, so I’ll definitely be reading the second book, Tombstone Blues, some time this summer.
