The Strings of Destiny

As a fan of urban fantasy and unconventional combinations of mythology, paranormal, and modern settings, I love unorthodox, bold, daring, and engaging solutions that merge the three elements, creating something unique and compelling in one storyline. The Strings of Destiny provides an exquisite example of how elements of Norse myth can be used in a thriller-like modern retelling of the concept of finding your soulmate in the vast expanse of the nine realms. Yes, the whole nine! Not just one. Overcoming all the obstacles, isn't an easy task, when Markus and Faron don't even know, they're fighting against the forces of the universe, that have already been set up in a way, that limits the successful chance of them being together. Our main characters get a brand new chance to rewrite the tragic history of their bloodlines, but first there is so much that have to be accomplished, so much pain to be endured and so many lies and illusions to be uncovered. Markus and Faron have found each other in the first book, Kingdom of Dreams, their lives colliding and uprooting the comfortable, sleepy routine of what they have built so far. The strings of what is destined to be, continue their downward spiral of unraveling in this second installment, seamlessly combining the explosively intense grand finale of the first book with the expansion of the plot we have here. I found myself deeply immersed in the orbit of a fast-paced, violently unpredictable, action-packed adventure that challenged and reshaped the very fabric of everything Faron and Markus knew about themselves, their present, their past, and their future, adding into the already complex mix the Awakening of their newly acquired, frighteningly strong powers.
The second thing that made a very good impression to me were the secondary characters like the Vala of Asgard, Kara, Ursa, Life, Noah and so many more. They weren't just fillers for a richer background but carried their own sub plot lines that complemented the main one beautifully.
As a summary, I have to say, that I have a new author amongst my favorites and can't wait to see the continuation.
