The Strange Maid by Tessa Gratton is the second book in The
United States of Asgard series.
I really fell for this series in book one, when Soren Bearstar was
introduced. This magical world is set up
as an alternative Norse influenced reality.
The world is pretty much the same, but people are separated into
champions for different gods, for Soren it was Odin and then Boulder. This story is about Signy Valborn, trolls,
Ned the Spiritless, Valkyries, and solving riddles. Signy lost her parents, and out of despair climbed
the tree, where Odin first introduced himself to her. On that night he called her his little Raven
and asked her to be one of his Valkyries.
Signy took well to this and began training, until one day Odin appeared
again and left her with a riddle that changed her life and made her
runaway. Signy must figure out her
destiny, and Ned will help guide her there, but if there is one thing we can
learn about the gods is that they are always messing with destiny, and everyone
is a pawn in the big game. Fun, action
packed, and Soren is back!
4 out of 5 stars.
Thank You Edelweiss.
