“An evocative, romantic adventure.” —The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books “With razor-sharp prose and bone-deep emotions, Tessa Gratton doesn’t just tell a story. She invites readers into another world—one we hate to leave when the last page is turned.” — Saundra Mitchell, author of Mistwalker and The Vespertine There is only one person in the whole world who remembers the famous prophet Astrid Glyn: the berserker Soren Bearstar. Ever since Astrid agreed to give up her life, her name, and her prophetic dreams to become Idun the Young, the almost-goddess who protects the apples of immortality in a secret mountain orchard, she’s been forgotten by everyone. Everyone except Soren. For the last two years, he’s faithfully visited her every three months. Then one day he doesn’t come. Though forbidden to leave the orchard, Astrid defies the gods by escaping with a bastard son of Thor to find Soren. But ancient creatures are moving in the mountains beneath the country. They are desperate to leave the shadows and Astrid’s quest might be the key they need. Not-quite-a-goddess, but no longer only a girl, Astrid finds herself in a situation where fate—and not just her own—lies in the balance. Is there a way to save herself and those she loves, or will this choice unravel the ancient magic holding the nine worlds together? “A gorgeously written tale of the beauty of death, the pain of love, and having the courage to face our darkest selves. An utterly compelling book!” —Robin LaFevers, bestselling author of the His Fair Assassin Series

The temptation even comes up to skip the review, and just rate it; that would be easier. But when a book is as good as Tessa Gratton's last entry into her United States of Asgard series, you just have to let people know about it.Set in an alternative (way cooler) world where Odin and Thor steer national policy, The United States of Asgard series has a ton of awesome going for it. Creatively interwoven into our own world, the reader is able to escape to a much more magical place, a place where you could not only get a good job or get to serve your country, you might even get the honor of being born a Berserker or earn your way into becoming a Valkyrie. You could get to meet Baldur the beautiful, or be able to help others by seething the direction their lives are heading. All of these things are fantastic, fun and enamoring. But you hardly notice them, because they are just a setting for the complex and incredibly well written characters.. You will KNOW Tessa's characters . You will be annoyed by them, you will be mad at them, you will be ashamed at and for them. But most of all, you will love them, because they are all real, and full and oh so human.The Apple Throne is this idea nearly to perfection - we get to know imperfect characters, and get to love them because of their imperfections. Perhaps best of all, we get to see how we can love others because of the power of her characters and how powerfully they can care for others, even when everything says they should not, they should be full of anger. I don't feel like I can even iterate how powerfully Tessa pulls this off; let's just leave it at, some of her characters leave me wanting to be a better person, and the bookworm/daydreamer in me just wishes the characters were real so I could actually get to know them.In a year of amazing books, this is one of my favorites. Do yourself a favor and read it.

A Masterclass in How It's Done By Kate Johnston Is it hyperbolic to open by declaring that THE UNITED STATES OF ASGARD might be the best books I've ever read? I don't care: they are, and THE APPLE THRONE continues this tradition with more style and grace than I would have thought possible.I think my favourite part about it was that the book dealt majorly with characters I didn't think I would ever get to see again. Gratton took the people I met (and loved) in GOLD RUNNER and wove them in with Astrid and Soren and Signy, and I really could not be more pleased about it. Every thread - from the books, the novellas, the online pretend magazines - was tied, however small it was, and it was FREAKING DELIGHTFUL.I also rather desperately loved Astrid's refusal to just be. She basically got her heart's desire (ish) at the end of THE LOST SUN, but she didn't let her destiny be her ending, and I liked that a lot. Also, she got to rescue Soren (twice!), and that is pretty great.And Signy. And Amon. And Su(uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu)ne. My heart.What will forever be the cornerstone of these books, for me at least, is the world building. Gratton has left nothing aside, and yet somehow there is never the worry that the reader will be crushed by all the details. It's just so effing real. It is the smartest thing I've ever read, which I think is why it's also the best, and the world is a big part of that. What THE APPLE THRONE says about girls and monsters (and some who are both), and inclusion and second chances and love and death and chance and fate is amazing.I look forward to rereading this series for the rest of my life, and I am SO GLAD I got to read this book.

I fell and fell hard for the story (and the audiobook version!) The Strange Maid deepened my love for the series. Reading The Apple Throne was so bittersweet. I absolutely loved it. However, I am not ready to leave the United States of Asgard yet! (I guess I had better savor the short stories in The Weight of Stars!!)With The Apple Throne the focus returns to one of the main characters from The Lost Sun – Astrid Glyn. I loved Astrid and hated leaving her at the end of book one. We see her briefly in book two but I was excited to learn more about her new life as Lady of the Apples. She’s no longer a regular girl but she’s not quite a goddess either. Watching her find her place in the world was so interesting!And of course there’s a quest. This one involves Soren! Astrid and Soren’s love for one another shines through the pages of these stories. I loved seeing Astrid take charge and do what had to be done to find Soren and help him right what was wrong.I’m trying to avoid spoilers here but it’s hard! I want to talk all about all the things!!! If you haven’t checked out The United States of Asgard books yet you really should! Such an excellent combination of mythology and the modern world!!
