Overview

The blend of existing mythology and the magic system created by Arthur makes for a riveting story. Ariessy of Midgard is an emotional fantasy adventure that expertly hits all the right notes for young adult fantasy fans - Literary Titan. 17-year-old Ariessy is one of many sorcerers created by Freyja to protect Mother Earth while under oath to remain hidden from humanity. Struggling to come to terms with a painful past and her father's illness, she is confused by a growing number of abilities and difficulties she is not supposed to have. Since she was very young, her nan, Isobel, warned her to stay away from the Veurrulfar, Odin's wolf-shifters from Nidavellir. Their job is to uphold laws which protect humanity from other supernatural races and they won't make any exceptions for her. When the headmaster of Acacia Academy embarks on a project to teach human children the importance of environmental protection, Ariessy agrees to help, but the Veurrulfar request a meeting before they'll sanction his request. When Ariessy is introduced to them, something about her raises their suspicions, so they assign Hale Torben to watch her. While seeking a cure for her father's worsening health, the Seivar Authority accuses Ariessy of committing a serious crime, leaving her fighting for her life. When the Veurrulfar are alerted, they reveal a secret which forces Ariessy to face shocking truths about her family and the people she thought she could trust. A revelation which changes her life for ever. As more information comes to light, her nan's disappearance coincides with the re-emergence of an ancient rebel coven hell-bent on culling humanity, so when the Veurrulfar questions Isobel's involvement Ariessy is determined to find her. If she wants to survive, Ariessy must learn who to trust because danger is closer than she thinks and death is only a heartbeat away. With mystery and suspense, this original new fantasy adventure explores the pain of loss, the importance of trust and that acceptance comes from within. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For readers who enjoy: Urban fantasy, action & adventure, coming of age, fantasy & magic, Norse fantasy, magical realism, mystery, slow-burn romance, young-adult fantasy.

Reviews

At the start of the book, it seems like the story might be a little similar to Harry Potter, albeit from a teacher's point of view, but it quickly turns into a fantastic combination of magic and mythology. Arthur captures the essence of a late teen exceptionally well, presenting Ariessy as a young woman who regularly straddles the line between a child's emotional maturity and an adult's responsibilities. Ariessy is an emotive and engaging character who is headstrong and intelligent. I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of the story and had a hard time putting it down. The blend of existing mythology and the magic system created by Arthur makes for a riveting story. Ariessy of Midgard is an emotional fantasy adventure story that expertly hits all the right notes for young adult fantasy fans looking for an easy story with a unique blend of Norse mythology to get lost in . - Literary Titan.
