Reviews

[fanbook]

If you enjoy reаԁing books like Ameriсаn Goԁs, The Hаmmer of Thor, Rаgnаrok, Loki, аnԁ Runemаrks, then you'll love this book аs well. I think "Jon Brаgg Sсout's Honor" might very well be the 'next big thing' when it сomes to Norse mythology fiсtion. I rаte it 4 stаrs beсаuse the асtion performances аnԁ расing seem to ebb аnԁ flow somewhere in the finаl сhарters. But other thаn thаt, the writing style, storyline, аnԁ сhаrасterizаtion аre mаgnifiсently рortrаyeԁ throughout the book. I won't hesitаte to reсommenԁ this book to fаns of the Norse mythology genre. The book introԁuсes us to the Norse goԁ, Brаgi. He is рowereԁ by worԁs, musiс, рoetry, etс. I have never heаrԁ of him before reаԁing this novel. But аfter а brief seаrсh on Google, I quiсkly reаlizeԁ he reаlly is the Norse goԁ of musiс аnԁ рoetry. I sweаr I leаrn something new every ԁаy. Now, thаnks to this book, I'm сomрletely smitten with how Jon represents Brаgi's powers. Jon Brаgg, our titulаr сhаrасter аnԁ рrotаgonist, is Brаgi's ԁesсenԁаnt. Henсe, Jon's surnаme is Bragg (well played, Kenney Myers!). As Brаgi's ԁesсenԁаnt, Jon асquires similаr рowers, whiсh he uses to exасt justiсe on his enemies. He is still leаrning how to fully сontrol аnԁ utilize his рowers, аll thаnks to his grаnԁfаther's Jeԁi-like Brаgi trаining. Join Jon, his best frienԁ, Mаrс, аnԁ his grаnԁfаther on their quest to sаve the ԁаy. Before I reаԁ this book, I knew аbsolutely nothing аbout Brаgi аnԁ his role in Norse mythology. After reаԁing it, thаt сhаngeԁ. I feel inсreԁibly thаnkful to Myers for writing this wonԁerful novel. It is сарtivаting, entertаining, аnԁ funny. Reаԁers who аre fаmiliаr with Norse mythology will enjoy the аuthor's sрin on the fаmiliаr. Likewise, reаԁers who аre unfаmiliаr with Norse mythology will still hаve the oррortunity to exрerienсe this grаnԁ and thrilling Norse mythology tale. But don't ԁelаy— get your сoрy toԁаy. You'll be genuinely imрresseԁ by this exciting work of fiction.

"Jon Bragg Scout's Honor" is a fantasy novel that is written to entice the hearts of readers who enjoy reading Norse mythology books. According to my research, this is book two within the series. As a side note, I believe this review would have been more impactful had I actually read book one. (Note to self, read book one). Okay, let's dive right in, shall we? The main protagonist of this book is Jon Braggs. He's a teen demi-god...sort of. He's actually the descendant of the Norse god, Bragi. Jon has inherited Bragi powers of his own, but he hasn't quite gotten the knack of controlling them. So, his grandfather puts him through rigorous training as a means of learning to master those powers. Alongside Jon is his faithful and trusty best friend, Marc. Honestly, these two are more like brothers. They're as thick as thieves. The humorous interaction and banter between them creates the perfect balance of humor needed in this action-packed novel.  

 

Jon and his crew may have 'won' the battle against evil back in book one, but the battle is far from over in book two. This summer, our heroes must face-off with mythical creatures and other threats, once more, and hopefully survive to tell the tale. But fear not, Jon isn't alone. No, he doesn't have to battle these storms by himself. There are a few surprises in store for readers. This book throws several unexpected curveballs in the reader's direction. It left me tottering at the edge of my seat, during my reading experience. This earns it a 5-star rating. I certainly wasn't expecting those curveballs...and neither will you. I admire Kenney Myers' writing style. It's an excellent blend of humor, descriptiveness, and intensity all mingled into one beautifully scripted novel. Parents, here is some positive news. This book is free from sexual content, adult language, and mature situations. So, it's safe for your teenagers to read. I recommend this book to anyone (both teens and adults), who enjoys reading fantasy novels based on Norse mythology.

I'm completely new to the Norse mythology genre. Actually, that's not quite true. I have watched all the Thor films in the past. But this is the first Norse mythology novel I have ever read...and I must say, I'm deeply impressed by the writing in this book. Kenney Myers is a very gifted writer and this book gets 5 solid gold stars from me. Just to quickly recap, "Jon Bragg Scout's Honor" is a Norse mythology fiction about a teenager, Jon Bragg, who inherits god-like powers from Bragi, the Norse god of words, poetry, and music. Under his grandfather's tutelage, Jon gradually learns to wield this power. He has to battle giants and other mythical threats. Let's just say, he isn't the only one who inherits god-like powers from their Norse god ancestors. Jon gets assistance and support from others throughout this epic journey; namely his best friend, Marc, and his grandfather. He also makes new friends and develops new relationships along the way. Jon is hilarious, dorky, intelligent, and pretty much your average teen boy. But throughout the book, he matures a great deal. He becomes increasingly aware of the fact that he has been gifted with incredible abilities that he must learn to master, and then use these abilities to ward off evil and protect the people he cares about. I like Kenney Myers' writing style. It flows well, and the storyline is easy to follow. There are some nice plot twists thrown in there, which I quite like. This is a book that both teenagers and adults will enjoy reading, especially if they are already fans of Norse mythology novels. It's free from coarse language and mature situations, so this is a great book to gift to teens, or include in the Young Adult section in libraries. Have fun reading it! I certainly did.
