My Thoughts…
Arctic Dawn is
book two in The Norse Chronicles. I read
book one a year ago and loved the paranormal aspect and the characters so much
I was anxious for book two. My only
issue with Arctic Dawn is that there is no history given. Since it had been a while since I last read
The Norse Chronicles it took my about 25% into the book to refresh my memory as
to who the characters were and what their history was. I wish Karissa Laurel had given a little
background information just to refresh the reader’s memory.
There was a lot
of Norse mythology within Arctic Dawn, which I am not overly familiar with yet
I was not missing anything by my lack of knowledge. I loved the characters and the story. Sol and Thorin’s relationship is intriguing,
drama filled, and interesting. The way
they circled each other, pushed their trust for each other, and explored their
feelings for each other. I am still
not sure exactly what these two are to each other but I am hoping that it is
all made clear in the next book. There
were other characters that I keep thinking about but Sol and Thorin are the big
ones for me.
At times there
was a lot going on in the book.
Sometimes it was overwhelming and a tad confusing. Yet at no time did I want to stop
reading. I pushed, pulled, and prodded
through the story. I had to know what
was going to happen. Would Helen, the
bad guy, get Sol? Are they going to
kill the wolf? So many questions and
I still have so many to be answered.
The Norse
Chronicles has to be read in order. I’d
highly recommend reading books 1 and 2 as close together as possible. I am sure I will be referring back to book 2
when book 3 is released. I
definitely recommend picking up your copies today.
