DNF at 46%. More or less. I think. Can't remember now. Oh well.

This should have been really cool. I mean, Valkyries + Odin + Norse mythology = really cool, right? Haha, you're so funny. That's what I initially thought, too. And then I started reading. Sigh. Double sigh. Triple sigh. Want to know why I'm sighing so much? Because despite this being a VERY short story (32 pages), the author manages to squeeze in ✘✘ Freaking Insta Lurrrrrve ✘✘ before the 40% mark. Now that must be the achievement of the century. Before this story there was Insta Lurrrrrve, now there is Step On It No Time To Lose Insta Lurrrrrve. Read 10 pages and BOOM, it's there! Yay!



What else? Apart the from the fact that there is no such thing as a plot you mean? And that this must be one of the most lackluster stories I was ever given to read? Let me think for a second there… Oh yes, there is something else! The flashbacks killed the plotless story. There are too many of them. They are poorly written. They add little to the narrative. Yay. In the end you're left with an uninteresting, incoherent, jumbled mess. Double yay.



And there you are, probably thinking I'm overexagerating again. You don't trust my judgement much, do you? You're thinking not ALL must be bad about this story. And you know what? You're right. It's not ALL bad. The cover is beautiful. Ha.
