Prophecies don't untangle themselves.


Just ask Ikepela Ives, whose estranged mother left her with the power to unravel the binding threads of fate. Stuck with immortal power in a mortal body, Ives has turned her back on the duty she never wanted.


But it turns out she can't run from her fate forever, not now that Ragnarok has been set in motion and the god at the center of that tangled mess has gone missing. With a ragtag group of companions-including a brownie, a Valkyrie, and the goddess of death herself-Ives embarks on her first official mission as Fate Cipher-to save the world from doomsday.


Nothing she can't handle. Right?

Kristin Jacques is an author from small town New England. She grew up in the sticks, surrounded by river wildlife and various swamp inhabitants. Somehow she managed to keep all her toes, despite a run in with a snapper or two.

She lives with her husband and sons in another small New England town. She is mighty attached to them. When not writing, she is likely reading, watching a terrific B-Horror flick, or further spoiling the family cats. Sometimes she has blue hair.

A feisty main character winds us through a world of imagination and humor! Loved it!
"A Valkyrie Walks into a Bar." So goes the beginning of this tale of Ikepela Ives (call her Ives if your fond of your fingers!), a young woman who inherited from her mother, an ability she'd rather ignore. Who wants to have the ability to see other people's fates and be able to change them? What a responsibility! And now it turns out she is the only person who can save the world from Ragnorak. Ives weaves together a ragtag team to thread her way through a myriad of myths, twists, and settings from Hawaii to Las Vegas to New York, to try and save the world. And we get to come along! Jacques is a brilliant writer, and I can't wait to read the sequel!

I absolutely adored the laugh-out-loud funny ZOMBIES VS ALIENS (if you haven't yet read, you need to fix that immediately), so when I discovered author Kristin Jacques had another book coming out, I had to get my hands on an advanced reader copy!

RAGNAROK UNWOUND follows Ikepela Ives (but you'd better call her Ives or she’ll break every one of your fingers!), a cynical fae who’s overwhelmed, to say the least, with her ability to manipulate fate. Along with one tenacious Valkyrie and a group of quirky deities at her side, she reluctantly sets off to save the world from certain disaster.

I’m not what you’d call well-versed on the mythology that comes into play during this story so it was a bit of a learning experience, but a fun one I don’t regret! The impeccable wit and humor weaved throughout is a treat I’ve come to expect from this author, and the further you dive into Ives’ world the more adventurous (and dangerous) it becomes.

The characters were fun and jumped right off the page, but I have to say I’m Ives loyal. I can’t wait to see what the sequel has in store for this hilarious Fate Cipher!

I always start Kristin Jacques' stories rubbing my hands in anticipation and, true to form, Ragnarok Unwound blew my socks off (be sure to read the chapter titles for an extra bit of fun!). Madness and mayhem, hot immortals and a grumpy mortal, plus a wild journey to save the world? This book delivers all its promises! Jacques cleverly pulls together all the threads and cast of characters to create a ripping tale, that works great as a stand-alone, but also ends with the possibility of more to come.... I couldn’t put it down, and I have no regrets about the work I should have been doing instead.

I love this book.
I love the fact that it mixes mythologies.
I love the fact that it takes a mythology that isn't used in nonfiction a lot into a more (recently) used one!
The characters are interesting and unique, I like that they are portrayed in ways that are not common.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great read but a bit rushed
Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2019
I am so conflicted right now and that’s pretty much the feeling I had the entire time I was reading Ragnarok Unwound. I must have spent my entire reading time constantly flipping back and forth trying to decide how I feel about this book. I still have no idea but I’m going to write until I figure it out.

First, the good! I loved this storyline. I am a huge fan of mythology, be it Norse or Greek or whatever else. There is something about Gods, Goddesses and their histories that I am a complete sucker for so right off the hop I was intrigued and excited to see where this book would take me. The mix of Norse and Hawaiian mythology (which I had to look up, by the way. I had no idea who Pele was until Google) along with a bit of Scottish folklore thrown in was…different. I actually really enjoyed that diversity because it is something that you don’t see very often and I think it worked very well here.

While I really enjoyed having Norse Gods and Goddesses so involved in the action, I’m not sure I am in love with the modernization that came with them. Now, I do love the banter and there is a HUGE part of me that wants to have the Goddess of Death as my nerdy gamer friend, but I think I might prefer a little less casual-ness when it comes to immortal deities. I just think that there is a certain amount of respect and formality that comes with being a divine immortal. Maybe keep the nerdy-ness but a little less of the “bro” and “sis”? I mean, I know that the way Hel, Ives and the group interacted with each other brings more of a human quality to them but….Gods. There is a level of informality that you can take but it just went a little over in my opinion.
Let’s talk about pacing for a minute. Now, I love a book that can keep a good, steady flow. It holds my interest and doesn’t allow for boredom with parts that just drag on. Ragnarok Unwound achieves that flow…unfortunately it is in hyper speed. I would almost bet that Kristin Jacques wrote this entire book in one breath. You can almost feel the urgency to get from one action point to another and it’s a little overwhelming. It would be one thing if it was just the action that was rushed but every aspect of the book seemed to have that same “this needs to happen now” quality to it. The path of the heroine mastering her powers and destiny at an alarmingly fast pace is common enough in fantasy books but I was surprised at how quickly trust was displayed, how fast battles came and went and how easily everyone just accepted what was going on around them and who was showing up next. It blew my mind. There was so much fast jumping from one city to the next and into the In-Between and other immortal worldly places that I had no idea where we were supposed to be at any given time and had no clue what was going on. Everything just happened so fast and I could NOT keep up. I tried, I just couldn’t do it.

At the end of the day, I did find this book a really quick and enjoyable read. I do wish that I would have had more time to breathe and process what was going on as I was reading and I have a lot of questions that I need answers to (like what the hell is Jules?? Was this answered and I missed it?). I’m thinking that this is the kind of book that you have to read at least twice before really understanding everything about it. Kind of like watching Deadpool….every time I see it I find something I missed. We’ll see.

I do hope that there is going to be another book. I’m quite curious to see what’s going to happen

Kristin Jacques is an incredibly diverse auhtor. She can write from Fantasy to Romance and she will never dissapoint. It's the same with this book, the storytelling is compelling and it keeps you hooked from page one.
Beautiful cover, very interesting read.
