    About this audiobook

    Calling all fans of myths, action-adventure, and the Percy Jackson series - don't miss this first book in the Blackwell Pages trilogy from bestselling authors K.L. Armstrong and Melissa Marr.
    While thirteen-year-old Matt Thorsen has always known he's a modern-day descendent of Thor, he's been living a normal kid's life. In fact, most people in the small town of Blackwell, South Dakota, are direct descendants of either Thor or Loki, including Matt's classmates Fen and Laurie Brekke. No big deal.
    But now Ragnarok is coming, and it's up to the champions to fight in the place of the long-dead gods. Matt, Laurie, and Fen's lives will never be the same as they race to put together an unstoppable team, find Thor's hammer and shield, and prevent the end of the world.
    In their middle grade debut, bestselling authors K.L. Armstrong and Melissa Marr begin the epic Blackwell Pages series with this action-packed adventure, filled with larger-than-life legends, gripping battles, and an engaging cast of characters who bring the myths to life.

      I love mythology, so I was excited to read this. Most of the people in the small town of Blackwell, South Dakota, are descendants of the long-since dead Norse gods, Thor and Loki. With Ragnarok coming (aka the end of the world), the champions must fight in place of the gods. Of course, thirteen-year-old Matt Thorsen never thought it would be him. He screws everything up! Now he must put together the team of champions who will fight to prevent the end of the world.What I liked: Great story line. I mean, you can’t go wrong with unlikely kids who must take on the world’s greatest monsters to save the world from destruction. Great characters. Matt, Fen, and Laurie are a great team, even if they have a hard time trusting each other. I also liked that each chapter was through the eyes of one of the three main characters, so you get to know each of them well.What I didn’t like: It was a little slow at first, but not for long. And, I think it did need some explaining before delving into the action.I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading the rest of the series.5 out of 5 stars
    • 3/5
      An excellent choice if you like Rick Riordan's Lightning Thief -- gods on earth, betrayals, new friendships forged and old myths remembered in a mile-a-minute story arc.
    • 5/5
      “Loki’s Wolves” by Melissa Marr and Kelley Armstrong is a great book about Norse legends and myths. In this story, the descendants of the most powerful Norse gods like Thor and Loki live in South Dakota. Matt Thorsen is the son of the town sheriff and a descendant of Thor. He is only 13 years old but has already discovered he has some powers of Thor that are hard to control. Matt’s cousins, Fen and Laurie Brekke, also live in the town and are descendants of the god, Loki. Since Loki is one of Thor’s worst enemies, Matt has never gotten along with his cousins. But, when Matt finds out that he is the town’s chosen hero for Ragnarok, he teams up with Fen and Laurie to find the descendants of other Norse gods. Ragnarok is supposed to be the end of the world, and the gods (or their descendants) must fight monsters to prevent another ice age. Matt, Fen and Laurie begin an adventure to find the other descendants, but they are just kids and don’t know where to start. Luckily, they are given a little help from other mythological creatures of the Norse legends. The book ends in a cliffhanger, so Matt and the others are still on their quest. “Loki’s Wolves” was an outstanding book. It is the first book in the Blackwell Pages series, and I can’t wait to read Book 2,” Odin’s Ravens” which is supposed to be released this month. I really liked this book because I enjoy mythology. Before this book, I only really read about Greek and Roman myths, but this book is about Norse mythology. “Loki’s Wolves” taught me a lot about Viking legends and Norse gods. I would recommend this book to all of my friends. I would also recommend it to anyone who likes action-packed stories.

      Loved Miss Armstrong's use of Norse Mythology and bringing it present day.
    • 2/5
      A middle-grades book. The author is Kelley Armstrong - is the 'initial' thing an attempt to sell this book to boys? Aren't we past that yet?

      This story does to Norse mythology what Percy Jackson and the Olympians did to Greek mythology. The book is very, very similar in tone and feel to Rick Riordan's writing. If you're a fan; go for it, you will love this. I didn't - but that's mainly my personal preference.

      A group of American children who are the descendants of the Norse gods are drawn together in a quest to save the world - Ragnarok is approaching. They must form alliances, learn who to trust, and discover their godly powers.

      As this is a series; we don't get around to Ragnarok in this volume - it ends quite abruptly.
    • 4/5
      Matt Thorsen knows that his ancestor was Thor, literally. His family are left with some abilities. Fen and Laurie Brekke are the descendents of Loki, a seer sees that Matt will be pivotal in Ragnarok and maybe it might be a good idea, from his family's point of view, for him to fail, they're not the only ones who want him to fail. He goes on the run and starts gathering more gods descendents around him.The others are reflections of their god ancestor but also themselves and they make choices with the available strengths and weaknesses available. It's interesting and well done. I like how the aspects of the gods influence people and how they try to cope with the powers.It's an interesting story, I'm left wanting more. The illustrations really add to the story

      I received a copy to facilitate my review. The opinions expressed here are my own.I have heard many people compare this to the Percy Jackson series. I disagree with them. Percy Jackson series the kids are demi-gods. In this book the kids are actual descendants of the Norse Gods. This book will give kids a look at Norse mythology. In this book Matt Thorsen along with his friends Fen and Laurie Brekke, as descendants of these Norse Gods, must battle those who have brought down the apocalypse. Are they up for the challenge? I think you will be pleasantly surprised as I was with this book. The characters are definitely well developed. The kids have real world problems that kids today can relate to. This is only the first book in this trilogy. I know my fantasy loving students are going to line up for this one.

      A new middle grade series by Kelley Armstrong and Melissa Marr. The story is a bunch of kids in South Dakota are the direct descendants of various Norse gods and they seem to have been tapped to take the place of the gods to fight during the Ragnarok. This book is the setup of the story and as the plot goes the kids talk about the gods they are related to and what they can do with those powers. Of course there are people on the side of the monsters so there are obstacles for the kids to overcome and since it is a series ti doesn't leave so much on a cliffhanger but out the door and on their way to the next thing they need to accomplish. Light reading for adults and a good read for the YA/Middle grade reader.
    • 3/5
      Lokie's Wolves by K. L. Armstrong and M. A. Marr represents the same genre as Rick Riordan. These authors bring the Norse gods to life. Matt Thorsen descends from Thor while Fen and Laurie Brekke descend from Loki, the trickster. Matt is the youngest of three boys and feels that he isn't as good at anything as his brothers. He, oddly, is the chosen one to fight to save the world in a battle referenced in mythology called Ragnarok.. Fen has always watched out for his cousin Laurie, making sure she is always safe. Fen keeps secrets, however. He can turn into a wolf and has been paying dues for himself and Laurie to the local pact in order to remain independent of the pack. When the Norns (three women who knew the destiny of gods and humans, representing past, present, and future) show Matt their truths, they spur Matt to put together a team for the forthcoming battle.Matt enlists Laurie and Fen despite their dislike for each other and begin a grudging trust. They leave town to put together other descendants from gods they will need for the epic battle. As they search for these descendants, they battle trolls and travel through time travel doors. If you like Rick Riordan, give this a try. Unlike Riordan, the story doesn't end with one quest. The group has to find each other and bond, but then it ends on a cliffhanger. It would have been better to have had a more in-depth adventure that ends than merely get them together and then end the book. It was interesting to learn of the Norse gods, I will say and I liked the characters.
    • 4/5
      I have had this book on my to be read pile for some time. This was a decent middle grade book set in present day where a bunch of kids find out they are descendants of Norse Gods. It was easy to read and fast-paced; although there is a lot of set up here. It reminds a bit of the Percy Jackson series by Riordan but with less action and different mythology.Blackwell, South Dakota is a town where the residents are all descendants of Norse Gods, mainly Thor and Loki. Matt is a descendent of Thor and finds out that he is supposed to be Thor’s stand in as Ragnarok draws closer and closer. His classmates Fen and Laurie are descendants of Loki and end up coming along with Matt on a quest to stop Ragnarok. They have to find the other descendents and find Odin in an effort to learn how to stop Ragnarok. This book is a lot of set up. Basically Matt, Fen, and Laurie are trying to collect the other descendents together and then find Odin. We learn a lot about the other descendents and go on some adventures in South Dakota. I was a bit confused as to why the Norse descendants are living in South Dakota, but I assume that will be explained in future books? I did enjoy the interplay between the different characters. There is a lot of personality conflict between Matt and Fen. Fen has led a tough life and has a huge chip on his shoulder. Both Fen and Matt are constantly trying to protect Laurie (it’s kind of in their blood) which irritates her to no end. As we meet more descendents the interaction between all of the characters gets more and more interesting.I enjoyed the book fine but am not sure if I will continue reading the series or not. I think kids in the middle grade age set will enjoy it more than I did. The language is a bit simple and the plot a bit predictable for me (and most likely other adults will find it the same). I am going to give this book to my 8 year old son and see if he enjoys it more than I did.Overall this was an okay middle grade fantasy that is set in modern day but involves Norse mythology. I thought it was okay but think that younger kids will enjoy it more. The dialogue and language were a bit simple for me and the plot fairly predictable. I would recommend to middle grade kids who enjoy mythology and adventure.
    • 4/5
      For kids who love Percy Jackson. They may need some additional knowledge of Norse myths, but otherwise, a very good choice.
    • 3/5
      Not sure what I'm going to think of this book. It is more for kids 8-13, but I love the author. I've read several of her adult and young adult series, so I'm willing to give this a try. Also, it is about the Norse mythology, which I would love to read more about. I'm a few pages in and so far, I'm enjoying it. We'll see where it goes from here.

      Very cute book. The story has only just begun. This book reads a lot like a young adult. It only mentions a few times that the characters are middle school aged. I know some about Norse mythology, but this book does go into explaining the myths, so if you are not familiar with it, don't let that scare you off. This might even be a good and easy way to learn more about the Norse myths before moving on to an adult series about the Norse. I'm going to look for some.

      If you don't mind YA books, then this would be a good book for you. If you don't like YA, then I would stay away from this. I will say that so far there hasn't been any romantic entanglements, though one person mentions that she has a boyfriend, but we never see them together.
    • 3/5
      Due to copy and paste, formatting has been lost.(3.5 STARS)Loki's Wolves was just one of those books that I picked up because it was a middle grade. It looked interesting enough, and it was really just a place filler. I hadn't heard anything special about it, so I didn't know what to expect when coming into it. Turns out that was alright, though, because I really enjoyed it.The Norse god's element was a fun break from the norm, and as a huge fan of Thor and Loki, it was a big hit for me. It was very interesting, but as I read it, well, it can also be a tad confusing. Keeping up with all of the happenings and different kinds of creatures was just hard. Not that it was interesting, but you know, maybe a little less information would have been nice. But then I probably would've complained about that too. ;)Alternating points of view can be such a hit or miss for me-- I'm happy to report that this one was a hit. Each of the characters had their own unique personalities, and it was obvious whenever points of view changed. I feel like Laurie should have been my favorite character (because she's a girl), but Matt was actually my favorite. I don't know why I liked the golden boy so much, but it might just be that I'm supposed to. He is, after all, the hero, Thor's replacement, right? Maybe that's why. But I also really enjoyed the characters of Fen and Laurie...but I am so upset about Baldwin. Who knows what's going to happen there, though, so fingers crossed!For whatever reason, I absolutely could not stand Astrid. She put off a bad vibe from the beginning, and I just can't figure out who she's supposed to be! I'm not exactly a huge fan of the twins either. But they were the only characters that I didn't care for, so I'd say we're doing good.The illustrations were pretty good-- that might be my new addiction in MG-- why don't more YA books have illustrations? They are so much fun! Anyway, I noticed that the illustrations were slightly anime looking-- did anyone else notice that? All in all, Loki's Wolves was a good read, but hopefully the next book comes out soon because we're kind of in an awkward spot ending wise...

      LOKI'S WOLVES begins a new middle grade fantasy series by veteran authors Kelly Armstrong and Melissa Marr. This series will mine Norse mythology for its world building. This first volume was very much an introduction to the series and the characters.Matt Thorsen, a thirteen-year-old eighth grader, has always known he was a descendant of Thor. His family and his town are immersed in Norse traditions and mythology and are town leaders. His grandfather is the mayor and his father the Chief of Police. But Matt didn't know that he was to be the Champion when Ragnarok, the end of the world, came again. He certainly doesn't feel ready of qualified. He feels even less ready when he overhears his grandfather and the other elders say that they expect him to win but to die in the trying. Fen Brekke also knows that he is a descendant of Loki. He can turn into a wolf. But his home situation is bad. His parents are gone and he is passed from relative to relative for fostering. His only friend, and the only person he really cares about, is his cousin Laurie. Laurie doesn't know about being a descendant of Loki. Her mother is ordinary and her father drifts in and out of her life. Laurie is constantly trying to keep Fen out of trouble and Fen is determined to protect her from all dangers.Fen and Matt don't get along. But if Matt wants to rewrite the myths and survive Ragnarok, he and Fen will have to put aside their differences so that the descendants of Thor and of Loki can work together to save them all. This story is a journey story wherein Matt, Fen and Loki try to gather allies who will help them in their upcoming fight. With limited guidance from the Norns, they head off to gather allies while running from the wolf pack that wants Fen to join. They are also trying to avoid Matt and Laurie's parents who have put out APBs for those two. It is rather telling that no one seems to care that Fen is missing. The story is well-written but a little incomplete. Further volumes are definitely needed to answer the unanswered questions. This story could encourage readers to explore more Norse mythology to find out more about the old gods who are Matt, Fen and Laurie's ancestors.
    • 4/5
      This book is obviously intended to be the first in a series as there are so many loose ends at its conclusion which is fine as authors rarely write a stand alone book for middle school kids anymore. This one is about some kids who discover that they have the powers of the ancient Norse Gods and Goddesses and must use them to save the world. What kid doesn't like to read about kids with super powers on such a worthy mission. What I like about it is it is not preachy about family, political or social issues which so many books are. This one is just fun and adventure.They do learn a little about Norse mythology and the tourist attractions of South Dakota.
    • 4/5
      Blackwell, South Dakota is like any other town in the U.S. - except with one difference. The residents are all descended from the Norse gods Thor and Loki. Matt Thorsen, Fen and Laurie Brekke have grow up knowing everything to do with Norse Mythology, it's a way of life. Now the seers have announced that Ragnarok is upon them. Matt Thorsen has been chosen as a champion. Along with the rest of the kids in town they will fight in the final battle.Excellent story! I loved all the Norse Mythology, gave wonderful depth to the world building. The old world mixed with the modern one was interesting to read. Loki's Wolves is an enthralling novel. With riveting plot and loveable characters. A must read! If you're a Percy Jackson fan, there is a good chance you'll love Matt Thorsen & company.
    • 4/5
      In Loki's Wolves, the characters, Matt, Fen, Laurie, must prevent the end of the world, also known as Ragnarok. Each main character is a descendant of the Viking gods. Matt is a descendant of Thor, while Fen and Laurie are descendants of Loki. They have to work together to locate descendants of the other gods to fight the monsters that will be released at the beginning of Ragnarok. I received an ARC of this book and decided to give it a try. I must admit that the beginning was slow for me and I almost stopped reading it. It took me awhile to get familiar with the characters, and I didn't find them to be very interesting in the beginning. However, once Matt, Fen, and Laurie began their journey to find the other descendants of the gods, the story picked up considerably for me. By the end of the book, I was wishing I had the next book in the series!

      Review courtesy of All Things Urban Fantasy.allthingsuf.comI’ve read quite a lot of popular, YA fantasy over the years. Anything my younger sister likes, I pick up and read along. Some of these collaborations have been great (she gets credit for Harry Potter, to be sure). Some have been disappointments… either too juvenile or too derivative to hold my attention. I approached LOKI’S WOLVES holding my breath, hoping not to find a Norse Percy Jackson, and within one chapter, all my fears were allayed.Wonderfully written, this book has a whole host of great characters sharing the spot light. It’s rare for me not to have a favorite (ok, ok, and I do kind of love Laurie a little bit extra), but Matt and Fen totally won me over as well. LOKI’S WOLVES is that rare book that was interesting as an adult while remaining completely appropriate for kids. Outside the villains and some bad parenting (though at least Armstrong and Marr didn’t kill off all the moms, Disney style), LOKI’S WOLVES is filled with relatable, admirable characters. In keeping with a younger audience, LOKI’S WOLVES focuses on friendships, not romance. It talks about insecurities and longing, disappointments and finding a place where you belong.The morals of this book are a little heavy handed and repetitions, but I liked these characters so much I tended to cheer their growth towards security and teamwork rather than get tired of it. LOKI’S WOLVES is bit younger than my usual urban fantasy fare, but I’ll definitely be back for book two. In the meantime, the review copy of LOKI’S WOLVES I received had tantalizing blanks where full page artwork will be inserted, which means I can’t wait to order my own copy to enjoy the full effect. And you can bet that I’ll be passing it on to my little sister to read along.Sexual Content: None.

      Review courtesy of Dark Faerie Tales.Quick & Dirty: This is the story of three children who have been chosen to save the world. The book is full of Norse mythology including gods and horrible monsters. This book is a must read.Opening Sentence: Matt walked through the center of Blackwell, gym bag in hand, jacket thrown over his shoulder.The Review:This story is mostly about three children named Matt, Fen, and Laurie who are from a small town in South Dakota, called Blackwell. The story is told in all three of the characters’ voices. These children are special because they are descendants and champions of the long-dead gods Thor and Loki. Matt, Laurie and Fen must work together to find the other children who are champions of other gods, find objects with magical properties and save the world from Ragnarok. Ragnarok is what the Norse called the apocalypse. During their travels they meet many creatures, good and bad from the old myths including trolls and valkyries.Matt Thorsen is the main character of our story. He is a descendant and champion of the god Thor. The Thorsen’s all have the power of Thor’s hammer but Matt’s is much more powerful. Matt has the power to sense when something bad is close by, such as trolls. He is thirteen years old and the youngest child in his family. As such, his parents think that he should be just like his older brothers, but he is nothing like them, so he feels like a disappointment to his parents. While most of the members of the Thorsen family play football, Matt would rather be wrestling or boxing, which comes in very handy when he is chosen as Thor’s champion. I liked Matt, he was not like most kids his age but maybe that was because he was the son of a sheriff. Matt made a good leader for himself and the other descendants. Even in the beginning when they did not all get along they still followed him without too many questions. I also liked how he grew as the story progressed. In the beginning he was scared and unsure about how he was going to lead the other kids, but by the end of the book he was a very strong leader who knew how to get everyone to work together and how to succeed.Fen and Laurie Brekke are the other main characters in the story. They are cousins and descendants of Loki. Fen is Loki’s champion. Many of the Brekke’s can turn into wolves and Fen is one of them. In the beginning Fen is hard to like because he has an attitude problem and likes to get into trouble. Then you learn that his life has not been easy in the least and you start to feel bad for him. As the story advances, I actually started to really like Fen. He was very protective of Laurie and would do anything to keep her safe. Also, once he became a friend he was super loyal. You learn that a lot of his attitude is because he is scared and just using his attitude to keep people at bay.I think Laurie was my favorite character. Laurie has her own powers such as being able to find other descendants. She has other amazing powers but you will have to read the story to find out her coolest powers. Laurie was a nice girl who wanted to take care of her cousin and make sure he stayed out of trouble. She is not your typical girl though. Even though she had no idea about the ancestry of the Thorsen’s and Brekke’s, she did not freak out when she found out. Laurie had no trouble jumping in and helping during a fight. At the same time, she was the person who was best at breaking up fights and getting everyone to get along.There are other children who join their group and play important parts. The first ones we meet are Ray and his twin sister Reyna. They are descendants and champions of the twin gods, Frey and Freya. They have a hard time with the group and don’t want to help at first. The twins have a secret that they are not telling the group. The next important character we meet is Baldwin. He is the descendant and champion of Balder and because of this he cannot be hurt or feel pain. Only one thing can hurt him. Balder is the nicest guy anyone could meet and is always so happy. Everyone, even Fen, who has a hard time trusting and liking people, likes Balder instantly. The last person who is important that we meet is Astrid. She is a witch who is dating the descendant of Odin. She is sent by Odin to help them retrieve Thor’s hammer and shield. Astrid is hiding something from them and they may figure it out too late.The description of this book may say that is for ages eight and up, but I am an adult and I really enjoyed this story. I am now going to purchase a copy of this book for the library I work for, and I am eagerly anticipating the second book. This book is full of Norse mythology, which is fascinating. The characters are endearing and the action is fast paced. I recommend this book to everyone, child and adult alike. You will not be able to put it down.Notable Scene:“Our champion is Matthew Thorsen, son of Paul and Patricia Thorsen.” Matt froze.There was a moment of stunned silence. Then whispers slid past. Did he really say the Thorsen boy? He’s just a kid. No, that can’t be right. We heard wrong. We must have.Granddad’s voice came back on the speakers. “I know this may come as a surprise to some of you. Matt is, after all, only thirteen. But in Viking times, he would have been on the brink of manhood. The runes have chosen Matt as our champion, as the closest embodiment of Thor.FTC Advisory: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers/Hachette Book Group provided me with a copy of Loki’s Wolves.
