At that point in the book, I found the story from the past to be the more engaging one. The book starts off switching between two time periods: the present, and a time slightly in the past where we learn what led Randy to his present endeavor. The entire book is written in the first person view from the perspective of the main character (Randy). I enjoyed the action sequences and had no problem visualizing them in my mind. The author of this book struck a very nice middle ground between those extremes. On the other hand, sometimes action sequences can be described in such excruciating detail that the urgency is lost and I’m altogether bored by them. Sometimes when I read action sequences in a book, I find they can be confusing because the author doesn’t clearly express exactly what’s happening in a way that I can follow. There was a lot of action, and the action was well-written. I don’t think that information was necessary for understanding the book, but it did enhance my enjoyment. I did read it on my Kindle PaperWhite, so I periodically used it to get the Wikipedia entries for some of the gods mentioned in the book. However, this wasn’t a hindrance to my ability to understand and enjoy the book. I actually didn’t know the first thing about Norse mythology. In this book, Norse mythology was real and the main character had a bone to pick with the god Odin. The story was set in recent times, I believe near the end of the 20th century, in our current world. However, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it.
Neither the cover nor the blurb I had read about the book seemed that appealing to me. However, this wasn’t a hindrance to my ability to under I wasn’t sure what to expect from this book.

SLEIPNIR REVIEWS SERIES
And also this book smells of as series that never started as it feels like their is meant to be more books but after reading it I am kind of glad that it was never continued.more But the problem comes mostly with the main character Randy is just really boring and seems more like a gary stu as he really has no personality and is really bland but everything just works out for him. And also this book smells of as series that never started as it feels like their is meant to be mo The sad thing is their are some really cool ideas like the idea that Odin is a villain and that it looks at the monsters as more of as tragic characters instead of as villains like they usually are.

Evans hasn't published any books recently, but we can always hope she'll return to writing soon.more Evans' books a while ago "The Far Edge of Darkness" which I thoroughly enjoyed as well. But suffice it to say the story is well written, and well researched too.
So what is going on? Well, you'll have to read the book to find out as I don't want to spoil it for you. Now for those of you who do not know Norse mythology, Sleipnir does not collect bodies of people who die accidentally, nor are they welcome in Valhalla, as this is where warriors who are killed in battle are taken, accident victims etc. However, very shortly after his death he witnessed Sleipnir retrieving the body and taking it to Valhalla. So why you might ask is Barnes looking to challenge Oden? Well Barnes himself is an ex-soldier who was recently discharged shortly after the death of his best friend Gary in a traffic accident. We first meet the protagonist Randy Barnes when he is in the process of negotiating a Norwegian cave on his way to confront Odin, whom he intends on challenging to a duel and hopefully killing. However, v Sleipnir is I believe Linda Evans first book, and it is an extremely interesting one to say the least.
