Interesting. This book didn't go the typical mythology route, but instead featured Norse gods. I know next to nothing about Norse mythology, so most of the information was fresh and new to me. I liked why the gods were at the resort and I liked the conflict between the two separate groups that were featured (Bren vs. Loki). I especially liked the whole focus with snowboarding. Some of the most interesting scenes were when the gods or Jenna was going up and down the hills. Oh, and the wolf too--he was one of my favorite characters (if you count animals as characters).There were, however, a few things I didn't like about this book. Although I did like Jenna and Bren together, I kind of wish it wasn't as insta-love as it was. I also which there could have been a bit more development of the side and minor characters that had important roles in the story. The biggest reason why I didn't give this a higher rating, though, was that I didn't connect as much as I could have to the book. One of the key components required to make me really like something is that connection.Overall, Winter Fire was a nicely written book that many people would probably enjoy. It was a good book, and I did enjoy it--it just didn't leave a huge impression on me.~I received this book in return for an honest review.
