“The Master Magician” is the last book in the “Paper Magician Trilogy”, though there are some hints that there may be a fourth book one day, and it’ll just continue on and on… Unless some things change, I don’t know if I’d stick around for a 4th book. Holmberg wrapped up everything pretty neatly with this last book, and never addressed certain issues that lingered from the first book, so I don’t think those will ever be addressed or fixed. Like how everyone isn’t a magician if it’s just as simple as learning about it, like the book implies. The series started off as this cute, whimsical world that I was 100% on board for, but the whimsy gradually faded book by book, until it left me a little ambivalent, which makes me sad!

****I received a copy from the author in exchange for an honest review**** Norse Mythology lovers, rejoice! “The Exile of Fenrir” is just the thing to scratch that mythology retelling itch you probably didn’t even know you had—until now. This is the story of one of Norse Mythologies shapeshifting giants, Fenrir, and his siblings as they run afoul of the gods in Asgard, and the punishment/judgement they face thereafter. The names you recognize thanks to the Marvel movies, such as Thor, Loki, and Odin, all make an appearance, but stay in the role the mythology originally intended. So, if you are looking for a heroic tale of Thor battling creatures of legend, this isn’t the story for you, though if you are a fan of Thor and his friends, I’d still recommend giving this a read anyway as it presents a different perspective. Ultimately, if you love mythology retellings that stick a bit closer to their source material, then I urge you to give this book a read! |
