I read a lot of fantasy, and rarely have I seen a modern one that handles the genre as well as The Chosen: Valkyrie Rising. Supernatural characters are very "right now" in fiction, but Ryans manages to interpret them in a way that's both neatly crafted and enchanting.The setting is a new take on the old: Norse mythology respun into an evocative and romantic tale that envelops the reader. (It's also formatted beautifully, which I can rarely-to-never say about a Kindle book.) Sexy provocative romance is sprinkled throughout, and offers the occasional unexpected excursion that will have the audience catching their breath.Studied readers will enjoy the familiar Norse setting and delight in The Chosen: Valkyrie Rising's original elements. Highly recommended.
