Giants Of The Frost by Kim Wilkins

I found this book a few years ago in a box of old books my sister was giving away, for some reason I picked it up and brought it home with me. It wasn't until a few months ago that I picked it up and read it and I have tried to review it many times since starting my blog and I have to say, it is extremely hard to review. To give an honest review about this book would force me to give away a crucial plot. This book really needs to be reviewed so I will try and do my best not to spoil it for you. If you feel that you can not read a book when you know the ending then maybe you shouldn't read on, just go and get the book and read it yourself.
Twenty seven year old Victoria Scott suddenly finds herself on a way to a remote weather station off the coast of Norway, starting a new job in a strange country is an adventure itself. Strange occurrences start happening upon her arrival and suddenly her world has slipped away into a world well known from ancient folk lore... introducing.... Vikings. Yep, they are all there, Odin, Thor and Loki. I really don't know how to word this review, so I will do my best to sum it up in Chris words.
This book starts out being about a normal girl who is searching for her place in life, she ends up in a beautiful but strange and haunting land, suddenly a man named Vidar appears and the story really starts from his arrival. I really cant tell you much more about the story line without completely spoiling it for you but let me say this. I really enjoyed this book, at times it was frustrating and at times it was sad, I was happily putting two and two together and my head was skipping ahead to the happy ending but come last page and the book flew across the room bouncing off the wall and narrowly missing poor husbands head. I cried with rage and sadness for half an hour after reading this. I was devastated with the ending, I understood it but did I like it or agree with it, NO.
So if you can handle reading a book with a great storyline but not so great ending then you should give this one a read, if you are into Vikings and the old Norse Lore then this is a must read, I was excitedly explaining characters in the book to my Swedish friend only to have her fill me in on the histories behind each character, it was amazing. One thing that the author has done brilliantly was combine the two worlds together, it is done in such a brilliant way that on stormy days you might just wonder...
