This was a wonderful spin on Norse mythology. I enjoyed it so much I had trouble putting it down.

Somewhat slow, and there are man at moments where I found the main characters to be absolutely infuriating. However, the storyline was compelling and I still wasn’t able to put it down. There is a sapphic storyline, but it isn’t even really acknowledge until the book was almost over, though I was relieved that it was actually addressed in a satisfying way instead of just being dangled in front of us the whole time. Definitely feel like some of the characters didn’t get as much time in the storyline as I felt they deserved. There should also be some trigger warnings as I found a lot of the material to be sensitive, but it’s hard to put into words why, exactly.

I love mythology retellings, and this one definitely stands on its own among them. My first brush with Norse Mythology rather than Greek, and I’m really pleased with how it went because it came from such a unique perspective. Angrboda was easy to love, and such a fierce and protective mother. Loki was easy to hate, but he somehow manages to escape slightly likeable. I was constantly surprised at how the book progressed, and the ending broke my heart. If you loved Circe (like I did) then you’d love this one just as much.
