This one I had a difficult time reading. Not because of the writing style, language, or other stylistic elements of the writing. I wasn't comfortable with the plot. Atticus helps a group seeking revenge/justice on Thor. Atticus sneaks them up Yggdrasil to Asgard. A battle ensues. Odin loses a raven, several Valkyries bite it, and ultimately Thor is killed. This is after Atticus kills the Norns and Ratatoskr in the previous book, Hexed.
I will admit that a different reader will likely have a different reaction to the story. I'm pagan and have a strong affinity for the Norse deities. I'm particularly fond of the Norns. And the idea of starting a fight with the Norse deities is off putting.
My aversion aside, the book continues with the witty phrasing and interesting characters that Hearne presents in the previous two books. Fans of the first books will likely find Hammered a good read.
