About this audiobook
The end of the world—also known as Ragnarok to the Norse gods—has occurred, and Loki has been trapped in a seemingly endless purgatory, in torture, until he finds a way to escape. It seems that he still exists in the minds of humanity and uses that as a way to our time.
Back in the ninth world (Earth), Loki finds himself sharing the mind of a teenage girl named Jumps, who is a bit of a mess. She’s also not happy about Loki sneaking his way into her mind since she was originally calling on Thor. Worse, her friends have also been co-opted by the gods: Odin, Jump’s one-eyed best friend in a wheelchair, and Freya, the pretty one. Thor escapes the netherworld as well and shares the mind of a dog, and he finds that it suits him.
Odin has a plan to bring back the Norse gods ascendancy, but Loki has his own ideas on how things can go—and nothing goes according to plan.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Not as good as the 1st, but still very good.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Not a patch on the first book. didn't get past chapter 4. Narration still fantastic, but there is hardly any pathos or the intensity of the 1st book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Great book. I loved the relationship between Jumps and Loki. He learns to navigate the modern world, but he also helps her learn to navigate it also. Fun listen!
