Perfekt Order (The Ære Saga Book 1) by S.T. Bende

Perfekt Order by S.T. Bende

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

For seventeen-year-old Mia Ahlström, a world ruled by order is the only world she allows. A lifetime of chore charts, to-do lists and study schedules have helped earn her a spot at Redwood State University’s engineering program. And while her five year plan includes finding her very own happily-evah-aftah, years at an all-girls boarding school left her feeling woefully unprepared for keg parties and co-ed extracurricular activities.


So nothing surprises her more than catching the eye of Tyr Fredriksen at her first college party. The imposing Swede is arrogantly charming, stubbornly overprotective, and runs hot-and-cold in ways that defy reason . . . until Mia learns that she’s fallen for the Norse God of War; an immortal battle deity hiding on Midgard (Earth) to protect a valuable Asgardian treasure from a feral enemy. With a price on his head, Tyr brings more than a little excitement to Mia’s rigidly controlled life. Choosing Tyr may be the biggest distraction—or the greatest adventure—she’s ever had.  

_______________________________________



S.T. Bende has an incredible talent not only for putting her own spin on Norse mythology but creating loveable characters you'll want to be best friends with (Henrik, anyone?).

Tyr was a drop dead gorgeous, swoon-worthy lead but he does have a few chips on his shoulders. Thankfully, Mia is a girl with a backbone and wasn't shy about putting him in his place when she needed to. She was smart, mature and a likeable heroine and clashing aside, she and Tyr were a great match for each other.

The climax will have you holding your breath but there's no dreaded cliffhanger ending here. Perfekt Order was a strong opening to a promising series and if you're a devotee of YA fantasy or Norse myths, it's sure to keep you more than satisfied.
