![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Maddy, a fourteen year old, is an outsider all her life because she was born with a mark on her hand that people fear because it is part of the Fiery, the chaos of magic that can only be bad for a small town trying to keep Order. In Runemarks, Joanne Harris imagines a world built according to Norse legend, with a World we live in, a World Below, Hel below that ,and connected by the river Dream. How ’bout that?Īnyway, with so much attention to Greek and Roman gods, I think the Norse pantheon misses out on some well deserved attention. And later than that, I realized these guys are where we get the days of the week. But then I read more about how there was a whole new story about the creation and arrangement of the world, and the end of the world (the awesome sounding Ragnarok, where all the gods die). I first read about them in the comics because Thor was on the Avengers. I’m talking about Thor and Odin and Loki and the others. I’m not talking about the people who run IKEA, they do just fine. You know who gets a raw deal? The Norse gods. Use our catalogue to reserve this book or listen to it on CD. ![]()
