Myten sger att odinsbarn fr med sig rta och dd. ??Samtidigt sprider sig rykten och oroligheter i landet. Gamla maktkamper vcks till liv, krig hotar att bryta ut och folk verger sina hem i fruktan fr varelser som ingen har sett p tusen r. Det verkar som om Hirka inte r den enda som tagit sig igenom stenportarna frn den andra vrlden och pltsligt vnds alla blickar mot henne. ??Odinsbarn r frsta delen i serien Korpringarna en spektakulr fantasyberttelse med rtter i den nordiska mytologin. Det r en episk och vldsam uppgrelse med frmlingsrdsla, blind tro och relyst-nad.

I wouldn‘t say these were life changing, but they sure were entertaining. Very much enjoyed being in the world that Siri Pettersen created with this exciting trilogy 🦅

I have read the whole trilogy by now, and I think I promised @julesG to let her know what I thought of them.
I liked the books, it was a kind of complex YA style. Easy to read, story and characters more complex.
It is just not what you would expect. Inspired by Norse mythology - I thought I would see something familiar here, but the story is ONLY inspired.
There are lengths, but overall I recommend them. There should be an English version

julesG Thanks! I'll get them through the library then 5y
hilded I loved these 💗 5y
Sweetkokoro I feel a deep urge to brush up on my 5 yrs of German language learning to read these since they aren‘t in English. Those covers are so enticing! 5y

I was a bit concerned when I read that it's an YA book, BUT after I read it I can say it does not read like your standard YA. It's from Norway, and I hope it will be translated to English soon, because it had a bit of this classical fantasy feeling meets a Norse mythology inspired world. The author really took her time to flesh out the characters and their journey (some might say it drags a little, but I enjoyed the slower pace).

DuckOfDoom @julesG you wanted to know if I liked it 😁 6y
julesG Thanks!!!! It's still on my list. I think we have a similar taste in books, so knowing you liked it is the tipping point. 😉 6y
julesG PS: have you seen the original Norwegian cover? The German edition is very tame. 6y
DuckOfDoom @julesG it's just hidden - when you open the book, the rest of the illustration is right there. But I had the same thought when I saw the original cover on Goodreads 6y
julesG Ah, makes sense. 6y

Found today in my local bookstore - fantasy from Norway.
The title would be something like Child of Odin in English, from the Ravenrings series. Can't wait to start this 😍

JazzFeathers Fantasy from Norway?????? 😍😍😍😍 l'd love to be able to read it. 6y
DuckOfDoom @JazzFeathers I hope it will be released in english, too. It was already translated into a ~10 other languages, so I think the chances are good 😀 6y
julesG I have it on my rebuy-watchlist, let me know what you think of it. 6y

Leniverse Er dette voksenbøker, eller passer de for sånn det yngre sjikt av YA-lesere? 6y
hilded De er rettet mot det eldre sjiktet av ungdom, så antagelig litt for mye for de yngste. Men flott for voksne og, jeg koste meg skikkelig med serien som 35-åring ? @Leniverse 6y
Leniverse Ok. Jeg er alltid på jakt etter fengende norsk litteratur til ungene, så det ikke bare går på engelsk hele tiden. Får legge meg denne serien på minnet og se det an om et par år. ☺️ 6y
hilded Ser den, god måte å holde norsken vedlike for de vil jeg tro. Nå vet jeg ikke hvor gamle de er, men 14-15 og oppover er nok en fin alder for disse. Hun har en for det litt yngre sjiktet også som har fått ok kritikker her, den har jeg imidlertid ikke lest selv. @Leniverse 6y
Leniverse Takker! 6y

Here is me hoping this excellent book will get translated to English soon so that more people will get the chance to read it!

julesG This looks interesting! 7y
kamoorephoto Omg this cover, what the heck?! 7y
hilded It's great @julesG! Fantasy mixed with some nordic mythology. The world building and the characters are amazing. It's a trilogy that have received lots of praises here in Norway, and are slowly being translated to other European languages as well. I heard rumours that it may be translated to English at some point, fingers crossed! 7y

hilded I know @kamoorephoto, it's so deliciously creepy! 7y
julesG I hope it's either translated into English or German, my Norwegian is too basic to read a book. 7y
julesG Ha, it's not only available in German, I can also get it from the library. (the German cover is more tame, though) 7y
hilded That's great @julesG 👍To bad they changed the cover, but hope you will enjoy it when/if you read it 😊 7y
julesG They cropped the image so that the bloody part is not in the picture, just the rest of the tail(?). So they show more of the left side of the picture. 7y
hilded Good guess, it is a tail indeed! @julesG 7y

The writing here is so good, and I keep thinking I want it to be translated to English so all my bookish friends can read it and love it, too. I am at the beginning still, but the world building and the character development just touch me, and I am eager to know more about how things work here...

#booktober day 27: a creepy cover. Siri Pettersen's Odinsbarn must have one of the creepiest yet extremely pertinent covers ever. The second one is creepy too, but not AS creepy, and I don't own the third one yet.

This book has the most awesome characters. Hirka, Rime, Ilume, basically just all of them. I really liked this book and I hope it'll be translated into English one day, because this is a really good fantasy book!
