S.T. Bende brings contemporary romance to Asgard in this prequel to ELSKER. Tur lays the otherworldly-building groundwork for what comes next -- showing us what brought Inga, Gunnar, and Ull to Earth and more specifically, Cardiff University.I have to say, as blissfully happy as Inga seems to be in her relationship with Gunnar, I don't envy her the life she lives on Asgard. She gets the REALLY short end of the stick as far as the recognition of her abilities is concerned, and Ull and Gunnar definitely don't help her situation in that regard. Under the circumstances, I think she's much better off on earth, even if her fighting talents are kind of wasted there, too! At least she's doing something she enjoys. And did I mention that I kind of love that she's a domestic goddess as well as a kick-ass warrior? Perfection.
