Wolves

I Bring the Fire Series #1

By: C. Gockel

Narrated by: Barrie Kreinik

In the middle of America, Amy Lewis is on her way to her grandma's house. She's being chased by a very bad wolf. Galaxies away, Loki is waking up in a prison cell, strangely without a hangover and with no idea what he's done wrong - this time, anyway. But he does know that Thor is hiding something, Odin is up to something wicked, and there seems to be something that he's forgotten....

In this urban fantasy tale that is equal parts Dresden Files and American Gods, a very nice Midwestern girl and a jaded, mischievous Loki must join forces to outwit gods, elves, magic-sniffing cats, and nosy neighbors. If Loki can remember exactly what he's forgotten and Amy can convince him not to be too distracted by earthly gadgets, earthly pleasures, or three-day benders, they just might pull it off.

Interesting concept, okay execution

The first thing that struck me was how much the narrator sounded like Siri. Once I got past that I actually enjoyed the story. Interesting twist on classic Norse myths and even modern retellings of those myths.

Great storyline

I have read or listen to this book multiple times. And always come back to this series as my go to.

Loki is more than we were told

This story about Loki kept me listening almost nonstop! Who is Loki really, and what shaped him? There’s action and reflection both in this engaging rendition of Loki.

fabulous

I couldn't stop listening and now I have to start the next one! I can't wait to listen to the entire series

It's good, but not my favorite

well I have read several norse books, and this is is well... different. but was a good story, well read and great for killing time at work. this seems like it would be better suited for younger generation.
