In the middle of America, on Route 44, Amy Lewis has a plan to get to her grandma’s house in time for dinner. But she’s being pursued by a very bad wolf.
Galaxies away Loki, so-called Norse God of Mischief and Chaos, is waking up in a prison cell, strangely without a hangover. He has no idea what he’s done wrong — this time anyway. But he does know Thor is hiding something, Odin is up to … to something wicked, and there seems to be something he’s forgotten…
In this tale that is equal parts Another Fine Myth, American Gods, and Once Upon a Time, a very nice midwestern girl and a jaded, very mischievous Loki must join forces to outwit Norse gods, elves, magic sniffing cats, and nosy neighbors. If Loki can remember exactly what he’s forgotten and Amy can convince him not to be too distracted by Earthly gadgets, her breasts, or three day benders, they just might pull it off.
This first installment of I Bring the Fire is for anyone who suspects chaos, tricksters, and mischief makers might have their own redeeming qualities, and anyone who just wants an epic fantasy romp through contemporary Earth, ancient Asgard, and beyond!

This is the first book in a series that takes the reader on a wild, fantastic ride.

Loved this series so much that I would marry it if it were legal.
I enjoyed this bit of a different take on Loki, Thor and Odin. The meshing of modern day, Norse mythology and fantasy is well done and very entertaining. Your heart breaks for the losses Loki has endured and you can see why he acts as he does. His intrusion into the modern world and Amy’s life is an eye opener for her and also the beginning of an …
The series is good and keeps you coming back to learn what else wI’ll happen in these worlds.
This series is a fun ride. Well written, with solid characters, I recommend the I Bring The Fire series. For all of the MCU fans out there, this brings a new look at a familiar favorite, totally unrelated to that universe. It also gives a different point of view to a millennium old mythology.
Interesting fantasy
Amy is just a normal person who wants to be a vet and that was when she meets Loki, the trickster Norse God.
Loki has been imagined a little differently in the story and how he works with Amy has been brought well.
Amy’s grandmother Beatrice is the more scary one with her sometimes cringe-worthy dialogues.
But overall the way …
This is another story I have read before. It was as excellent a read as the first time.
I recently read Mythos by Stephen Fry, so I went from Greek to Norse mythology! I do enjoy reading about myths and this book was really entertaining! Being a trickster god Loki is usually up to no good, but in this story he’s often quite helpful and emotional. Not all the time, though… Amy, the female (human) protagonist, feels a little bland at …

I picked up the Urban Mythic Box Set a while ago because I enjoy the myths it springs from, but like most books, it ended up buried on my Kindle until this week. I happened upon it when needing a break from my planned reading list. Sometimes luck is …
I enjoy seeing how an author can bring ancient mythology forward to today and this story was interesting and fun to run with. Loki will be Loki not matter what era.
