For review on my blog:

https://mybookreiews.blogspot.com/p/city-of-dogs-book-reviwe-003.html

Norse mythology and dogs, two of my favorite things in one book. Can this get any better?

The City of dogs start out slow and once all the dogs are interduce everything takes off. Like I say in another review, I rather have the backstories done early on then in the middle of action.

Each dog has its own personalities and act naturally like dogs. There good humor and a great story about each dog overcoming their fears.

Plus, Jenny is a Jack Russel Terror a dog I use to have. It may not mean anything but, I tear up when Sam found her.

It mentions a few times that Vikings wear helmets with horns. At the time I was mad, but people
do make mistakes or don't do more research.
The blend of Greek and Norse mythology was interesting although not well done in balancing it out. The twist with the mistletoe dart puts a new spin on the ragnarok myth.

Character 4/5


Plot 4/5


Writing 3/5- The writing lack in flow and felt dry at times.


1 for Jenny being a Jack Russel (there awesome)

.5 for a unique story

Total 12.5/20= 3.5*stars* ( )

Okay - if a kid likes dogs, other people said kids liked it ( )

A fantasy for dog lovers who believe while looking in their pets' dark eyes that dogs really could save the world. The balance of the world has been upset and only a motley crew of canine friends can set it right. Give to readers who have just studied Norse and Greek mythology... otherwise the references to characters in those worlds may be confusing. ( )
