The first half was better then the second half for sure. I think she must have gotten worried about length, since the latter half definitely picked up speed. In all honesty, it would have been better if she had let the book be 800 pages or even turned it into a trilogy. There was definitely enough of a storyline to fill that in. I saw another review mention how the Norse gods weren’t very well developed and I would agree. I also thought that some of the characters were fairly surface and not fully developed. But this is because the second half is rushed.
