"In an alternate U.S.A. (the United States of Asgard), Soren Bearskin, the son of an infamous beserker, and Astrid Glyn, daughter of a renowned seer, embark on a road trip to find Baldur, the missing god whose absence has caused panic throughout the country."--

The Lost Sun

Amanda Kordeliski

Original story and I love the overlay of Norse mythology onto the United States. I think the series has great potential but struggled with it because I do not have a great background in Norse mythology. Fore me, this story needed 1. A Map 2. More backstory/world building/explanation of how things came to be 3. A whose who in Norse mythology. 

If the title had these elements the book would have been so much better but as is it rates a 3. I switched back and forth between the audio and printed book. Both were good.

Berserking is in Soren's blood. Constant fevers and insomnia promise the power will explode in him any day. He's terrified of himself. Soren takes off on a road trip across the United States of Asgard in seach of a new future.
