I enjoyed this book. I think it suffers in a comparison to Circe, the books have quite a few similar elements. I personally find Circe to be better written overall however. That being said, this is a beautiful story, and particularly the themes around motherhood were beautifully explored. Because I am not versed in Norse mythology, I occasionally felt lost in some of the mythical plot elements but overall I was able to grasp the picture.
