This does sound good, I might check it out. This is the author who wrote 'Bones of Faerie', right? I really loved that one.
Like you, I think the use of Norse mythology is refreshing. Not that different from celtic, but still. It's always a danger if the idea of the 'unseen' should be too fixed in literature, and always called faerie.
I'm thinking of incorporating some Nordic folk lore into the book I'm trying to write as well, calling the 'invisible neighbours' The Hidden, instead of fairies or elves or something. That's a direct translation from the Norwegian 'Hulder'. Don't know yet how it will play out, and I might reconsider.
I like your reviews. Saw we had a few interests in common as well. I'll friend you. (If you mind, I'll 'unfriend' you again.)
