Empty Altars
by Judith Post
Rating: 4 Stars
The stars have shined since the dawn of
time, their existence spawning stories of gods and goddesses. Who better to
protect humanity than beings with knowledge and power far beyond our own?
When the universal balance is threatened,
Diana (goddess of the hunt and goddess of all magic) is sent by her runes to
help the Norse gods protect the world from a burgeoning evil strong enough to
destroy everything the gods created.
Mythology is not a strong interest of
mine, but Empty Altars’ synopsis poked my curiosity. The beginning started a
bit slow and was somewhat confusing (I’m sure due to my lack of mythological
knowledge), but once the action started and the pace picked up, Ms. Post’s
voice had my full attention.
Strong characterization, layered
personalities and a solid plot kept me turning pages. For those who enjoy
fantasy worlds ruled by gods, goddesses and magic, Empty Altars will not disappoint.
I am thrilled at finding a new author to follow and look forward to reading
more of Ms. Post’s work.
