The worst book I've read all year and if I hadn't been reading it for a book club it would have been a swift DNF. Writing majorly correlates to my enjoyment of a book so it's really no surprise that I hated this. The writing was SO BAD - the dialogue was terrible, there were so many repetitive descriptions, and the book was just way too long. The plot was a long series of Norse myths (somewhat tied together but most just thrown together) and the author didn't do enough to explain some of these ideas to the reader (especially one unfamiliar with the mythology).
Mostly, I felt like the book had a lot of rising action with very little payoff.
Needless to say I will not be reading this author again.
