The Fire in the Frost Book Review
Thank you to Lyra Wolf for providing me with a copy of this book! I voluntarily leave this review!
Becoming mortal was never on Loki’s wish list. He can barely stomach food, and his injuries take too long to heal. But he would do anything to spend his life with Sigyn. And yet even this existence is stripped from him. Fearing Loki’s ability to summon Ragnarok, Frigg imprisons the gods and weaves their powers into a curse so powerful that only a near impossible feat can break it. Loki and his children must face their tortured pasts to forge a path forward. But centuries of trauma and lies will be as great a challenge as the curse itself.
Loki, as a mortal, is just as haughty as a god. But there are times his jokes don’t fall as smoothly as they should, showing how off-kilter he feels. But Loki’s antics do not disappoint, twisting chances into his own selfish desires, yet battling to overcome his habits. Loki has been self-centered for so long; fighting against his own nature seems impossible. But the damage he has done to his relationships is blatantly on display for him to see at almost every turn of this novel.
While Loki remains the star of the novel, readers will also have a chance to view the world through Balder’s eyes. The evil Frigg has committed against Loki and his family is no secret, but the emotional manipulation and cruelty bestowed upon her own son adds to her treachery. Balder may not be the quickest to learn, nor is he the wisest, but there is only so much one can see before the harsh reality of their entire life is revealed.
The Fire in the Frost is another wonderful addition to The Nine Worlds Rising. Fans of Norse mythology retellings need to dive into this world and read about Lyra Wolf’s Loki. His snark and charm will quickly win readers over, and the conflicting wants and desires he contains will keep them coming back for more.
