Now in My Bookbag: Perfekt Control, by S. T. Bende

I liked this book. It definitely had a different feel than book one of The Ære Saga, Perfekt Order. While written with the same basic cast of characters, this story contained much more high fantasy. It was told from the perspective of Brynn, the Valkyrie and bodyguard for the God of War. However, the Brynn in this book seemed like a completely different character than the Brynn from book one. I found that a little confusing.
Author S. T. Bende made this story so much more fantastical than book one. Brynn and Henrik visited many of the nine realms of Norse Mythology while on a very important mission. The story included giants, dwarves, and dragons. It wasn’t really what I expected, and I wasn’t quite as involved with this story as I was with the story in book one. I did, however, find this book entertaining and enjoyable. 4 stars

Now in My Bookbag: PERFEKT ORDER, by S. T. BENDE

I really enjoyed this book. It was a different take on Norse Mythology, and I liked the uniqueness of it. I thought that the incorporation of high tech gadgets, and interesting powers, gave flavor to the centuries old myths. I also liked the inclusion of actual major and minor gods, in addition to Valkyries and warriors.I loved the characters and found them very entertaining. I found Mia’s internal monologue funny and engaging, and I thought the story was captivating. Author S. T. Bende imagined, and wrote, an excellent book. Perfekt Control gets 5 stars
