In The Age of Odin, the third book in the Pantheon series written by James Lovegrove, former British Army soldier Gideon Coxall gets in a car accident in the middle of a severe snowstorm while looking for the Valhalla Project, which is recruiting former military personnel for unspecified combat operations, and winds up recovering at the Project. Gideon soon finds himself fighting along with real Viking gods to prevent Ragnarok - the end of the world.

I liked that several figures from the Viking gods were made into modern day versions. I was able to relate to these gods as they were made into interesting and relatable characters, especially as they fight along the mercenary soldiers, all of whom were special operations, that the gods have recruited for their battles as well as fighting with modern-day weapons. I never realized before how much the Viking gods were all related and that they were such a dysfunctional family. The women from the Viking gods were all very strong women. Fumblewinter was very apparent in this book. I was always aware of the winter's cold while I was reading the book. Oftentimes, the background does not make a significant impression on me while I read a book.
