Frostborn by Lou Anders

4.0

My 10yo and I loved this! He gave it four stars as well. I’m not super familiar with Norse or Celtic mythology, but I loved how all the different elements were woven together. Draugs (creepy yet somewhat humorous undead guys), giants, Orm (giant dragon/serpent thing with a great personality), wyverns (two-legged dragons), etc. 10yo is really into games like Risk and Stratego, and Thrones & Bones reminded me of that a bit. I have been meaning to look up the origin of the game. It seems like it was created specifically for this story, but I wanted to see if it was at least inspired by a game played in that culture. Anyway, great book and I think we’ll pick up the sequels at some point.
