About this listen

When supernatural monsters crawl out of the dark and soldiers aren't enough, you send in the Blood Witch. When that's not enough, you're in trouble.

Ages ago, the Earth was cut off from other mythical realms in order to protect it from the depredations of the Asgardians. Now, a portal discovered in the Pacific Northwest is seen by a mysterious group as an opportunity to reverse that ancient act.

Aided by a sometimes helpful - but always irreverent - spirit familiar, Jack leaves the comfort of home to stop that from happening. His roommate Joshua, a Native American shaman, decides to come along. Big mistake. They are forced to navigate a world where refugees from the fabled Norse realms have been living in hiding since the bronze age. Old racial tensions and mistrust complicates their task as they take on nightmarish creatures intent on showing them how insignificant they are.

When Jack inadvertently uncovers secrets from his past, he must question his closest ally’s motives and decide if he is on the right path.

One thing is certain: Should he fail, all manner of legendary beings could quickly overrun the Earth. Beings still angry at being kept out of their playground for over five thousand years.

There are lots of elements about this story that should have had me invested, but I just couldn't get into it. The book isn't bad but I am struggling to pinpoint exactly why I didn't like it, it's a combination of various aspects. I felt I was missing out on vital information to do with the story. All the way through there were sections of missing back story, such as how and why Jack bonded with his spirit animal, how he became involved with the Dwarves and why he trained as a blacksmith, what's the deal with him and his mentor etc. The book doesn't explain these things so it feels like you are reading sequel book 2, rather than the first in the series. I also didn't get on with the narration.

I was given this book for free of my own choosing and voluntarily left this review.
