[Novel Spotted] Wolfsangel

Wolfsangel
by M.D. Lachlan

The Viking King Athun leads his men on a raid against an Anglo-Saxon village. Men and women are killed indiscriminately but Athun demands that no child be touched. He is acting on prophecy. A prophecy that tells him that the Saxons have stolen a child from the Gods. If Athun, in turn, takes the child and raises him as an heir, the child will lead his people to glory. But Athun discovers not one child, but twin baby boys. Ensuring that his faithful warriors, witness to what has happened, die during the raid Athun takes the children and their mother home, back to the witches who live on the troll wall. And he places his destiny in their hands.

And so begins a stunning multi-volume fantasy epic that will take a werewolf from his beginnings as the heir to a brutal viking king, down through the ages. It is a journey that will see him hunt for his lost love through centuries and lives, and see the endless battle between the wolf, Odin and Loki - the eternal trickster - spill over into countless bloody conflicts from our history, and over into our lives.

This is the myth of the werewolf as it has never been told before and marks the beginning of an extraordinary new fantasy series from Gollancz. (GoodReads)

werewolf... angel... viking.... king... prophecy.... Norse gods... twin boys... warriors.... lost love.... wolf....

That's more than enough to make me interested in this. I hadn't encountered a story regarding werewolves being connected to Norse mythology. And I'm totally a sucker for fantasy novels with princes.

I wonder when this will reach my country in paperback.

[Reading Status] I think I'm gonna regret prioritizing this crap...

READING:
The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel: The Alchemyst by Michael Scott (226 of 375)

ON-HOLD:
Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon (166 of 486)
Demon's Lexicon by Sarah Rees Brennan (148 of 322)

FOR RE-READING:
Leviathan by Scott Westerfield
Blood Red Snow White by Marcus Sedgwick
Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell by Sussana Clark

I saw the hardbound version of the third installment of the Nicholas Flamel series on sale, so I placed books 2 and 3 on reservation (which will expire tomorrow) and bought the first book. I had been interested in the book for a long time already, but I thought of prioritizing the other books I like before it. The sale of the third book might've been the sign that I shold start the series already, so I thought of finishing the first book before I decide whether to buy its sequels or not.

And most probably I won't be buying those two books. It's not really that bad, but so far it's very disappointing. I don't get what my friend saw in this (she said it was good and is very impatient to read the second book..... but I think we'll be having different opinions on it. Ironically I think I was the one who introduced the series to her) but since we usually have similar tastes, I'll be giving this a chance.

[Blog Update] Blog Revamp

Formerly called Fiction Hunter, now please welcome Imagination Complex!

I have been neglecting this blog for too long, now I want to revive it. I thought of giving it a new name, so that it'll be like a rebirth. A rebirth needs a new name, and I like this one better than the old one. I guess title's that I think of out of the blue are better than those I've thought of for days. Hehe.

I've been reading and watching more often recently. I'll try to update this as regularly as I can from now on.
