Definitely cute

Revisado: 03-13-07

Being a lover of Norse myths (and having been a fanatical Bruce Coville follower as a child), I was thrilled to see this book and bought it on the spot. Between the author and source, I knew I was in for a great source. I was not disappointed. Coville obviously knows his legends, and sprinkled through out are references not only to the myth at hand (although that one is hilarious enough), but to other stories. There is a nod to Baldur, references to Heimdal's guardianship of the Rainbow Bridge, the creation of Mjolnir, and Thialfe's unfortunate introduction to his stint as a servent of the gods. The story is well written, the characters played well and written beautifully in character, and the plot is as tight as a drum.

My only qualm in this story was the voiceacting. This may be a personal choice, but all in all, I get distracted heavily when an audiobook contains voice acting done other than by the narrator. Also, the disguised voices seemed to be overdone, almost melodramatic, and while I know it was being played up for laughs, it continued the sense of disconnection. But all in all, I think my money here was well spent. I definitely hope that Coville continues this series; I, for one, would love to read about the further adventures of Thialfe, Goatboy.
