The Witch's Heart by Genevieve Gornichec
3.0
This is my first ever mythology retelling and while I enjoyed the story and narrator I’m not sure if this genre is for me.
3/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Angrboda is a powerful witch who’s had her heart carved out. Loki, the trickster, returns it to her and they fall in love and have three children. You follow their story and how Angrboda foresees the future and what Odin wants to know.
While I enjoyed the story, I went in totally blind. Odin, Thor, and Loki are all familiar to me from Marvel movies, but this is totally different! The book does start off a little slow and abruptly. I felt like I was halfway through before I knew what the point was and at times was wondering if there was even going to be one.
If you like retellings I think this would be a good one, but I don’t have anything to compare it to since this was my first.
