Ahhh! I loved this one. It was epic fantasy at its finest, with compelling characters and a style of writing that had me enthralled from start to finish. I felt the Norse-inspired world-building was magnificent. I was caught up in the plot, the frustration, the desire.

Another slow burn that had me still thinking about it two days after I’d finished it.

Firstly, I loved this book because of the Norse mythology within it. That was everything, mixed with the fantasy feel of quests and romance. I really loved the main female character.

Even though the story shows her life being turned upside down and everything changes, she has this constant sense of self and bravery from the beginning, making her a very engaging character. Even when she was shown to be terrified, she still went forward with bravery. She acts from the heart, which I can relate to, and I love connecting with the characters.
