Matt, Fen, and Laurie--descendants of Norse gods--continue to prepare for their fated battle to stop Ragnarök, the prophesied apocalypse. However, they must first retrieve their deceased friend Baldwin from Hel, and then find Thor's hammer. The nonstop action of this second book's first half grows a bit tedious, but its second half develops the characters well and offers satisfying plot twists.
