Perfekt Order (The Ære Saga Book 1)

I like the setting and the storyline. This book would keep any young sifi up late. Very good read

I really enjoyed reading this book! I couldn’t put it down! I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. I recently read books that were the first of their series and I had no desire to go on to the second book. I’m elated that I found this author and will happily go on to read all of the books in this imaginative series!!! Thanks

Such a good book, it’s hard to find books I like and this has everything I loved in it, I read it within 24 hours, definitely worth the time!

The most heart rendering story I have read .

I’m only 1/2 way through the 1st book & id Truly Love to Thank You S.T. Bende for writing a book without raunchy sex & cussing & blood & gore, that seem to be the norm today. But, this book Is sexy & funny & thrilling & exciting! Man oh man! I sure wish more Authors would “take a page” from you S.T. Bende & get back to CLASSY writing!! Your quips are so funny! I’ve highlighted most of them to share with other people. I hope that’s ok. Would that be a Copyright infringement? I lived in the South & can relate to a lot of them. Again I say Thank You & I cant wait to read the rest of your books! Thanks for sharing your imagination with us! Much Love & Blessings!

Love the storyline ❤️

I got this book knowing I would want to read through the series as I have also read S.T. Bende series the Elsker Saga, which I loved. This first book did not disappoint. I was into it from page one. The romance and comedy makes for a great read. The detailed descriptions that S.T. Bende creates with each situation as well as the feel and mood makes it easy to keep into the rhythm of the story and the characters. I love the budding romance not only with the main characters but also the small back stories and side romances with the secondary characters. I can totally relate to the OCD nature of the main character. lol. And all I can say about the motorcycle riding, leather jacket wearing, Norse God.....YUM! ;). I can't wait to read the next stories to see what is in store for the characters in the series but this first book was left with a satisfying ending as I hate cliffhangers. Totally recommend this book to anyone that wants to be swooning over a Norse God and laugh and have fun with all the characters.

Ummm, no thanks.

*****The author provided a free copy of this book in return for an honest review.***** Pretty close to 5 stars. Until a couple of weeks ago, my knowledge of Norse mythology was limited to the movie Thor and the TV show The Almighty Johnsons. Last week, however, I started reading Ednah Walters’ Runes, which gave me a little more insight into that world. This week, I had the amazing opportunity to read Perfekt Order. With the help of S.T. Bende, I not only learned quite a bit more about Norse gods; I was also transported into a world of action, drama, suspense, and romance. Plot: Mia Ahlstrom has her whole life planned out … at least until her first college party, where she meets Tyr Fredriksen. Following her brother’s advice, Mia decides to step outside of her comfort zone and give a relationship with Tyr a chance. What she didn’t realize is that she would be stepping (literally) into a world full of Norse gods and mythical creatures. Characters: In terms of heroines, Mia is about as good as they come. She’s smart, determined, nurturing and kind. She’s a great cook, and she’s also strong and athletic, so she doesn’t easily fall into the damsel in distress pit. Instead, rather than complaining about what’s going on around her, she tries to understand the problem and contribute to its solution. Even though she has all of those things going for her, I think the thing that readers (woman especially) will like the most about her is that she refuses to sacrifice her own desires to make someone else happy, but she does it in such a way that you admire her instead of resenting her. As the God of War, Tyr is your typical Alpha male — sexy, hard-headed, protective, and occasionally overbearing. To make matters worse, he’s also secretive and occasionally aloof. Fortunately, at the same time, he’s so thoughtful, sweet, romantic, flirty, affectionate, and vulnerable that it’s impossible not to like him. With such great main characters, you have to have great supporting characters, and Mia and Tyr are surrounded by a lot of incredible people. Those people include Mia’s brother Jason, her roommates Heather and Charlotte, Tyr’s sister Elsa (who is in a coma most of the time), and Forse, a bodyguard. Still, the real standouts are Mia’s other roommate Brynn (a Valkyrie) and Tyr’s friends Henrik (who’s also Tyr’s bodyguard) and Freya (the goddess of love). Brynn is a spunky and fun-loving girl, but she’s also incredibly strong and brave. Like Brynn, Henrik is strong and brave, but he’s also super smart, mechanically inclined, and very funny. Freya, the goddess of love, could have been really intimidating and actually was a little at first, but she’s so thoughtful and kind, you quickly realize that she’s not a threat to Mia and Tyr’s relationship. We learn that there are a few villains, but the primary one in this book is Fenrir, a wolf that used to be Tyr’s pet as a child. Fenrir is a great villain because even though he is a huge threat to everyone, after hearing about his past, you kind of feel sorry for him. Writing: Perfekt Order very easy to read, not just because the story is compelling, but also because the book sis so well edited. There were a couple of paragraphs I wish had been shorter, but there was really nothing else to complain about. Bende is great at world building, and she did a remarkable job of explaining the mythology in a natural manner, so it doesn’t seem to come completely out of nowhere. And she’s able to squeeze in a lot of explanation without things becoming boring. There is some cursing (a lot of it in Swedish) and a ton of violence. There is also a lot of sexual tension, so if the book were a movie, I’d probably rate it PG-13. Bottom Line: Everything about Perfekt Order was spot on. It’s a great plot with extremely likable characters, plenty of action, and just the right amount of romance. Most of the problems are resolved by the end of the book (no cliffhanger … yay!), but Bende gives you plenty of incentive to read Perfekt Control, the second book in the series. I can’t wait to see how Brynn and Henrik’s relationship progresses.

I was really upset to find out the next two books were not about Mia. I was looking forward to seeing what happened next in her relationship and possibly becoming Unifier. I will probably wait on the other two books.
