Well of Dreams in my second 5 ⭐️ read of the year!  I spent the first 30% of the book (I read on kindle, iykyk) trying to figure out what the heck was going on. And I mean this in the best way possible - where I was immediately thrown into the actions of our characters lives and became very invested in them. I knew there was a mystery here and I was trying to puzzle it out!

There was some unique worldbuilding living in a post-Ragnorak world on what I’m assuming used to be Europe. There’s now essentially magic, in the form of galdyr given to the ruling families because of course this place is run by monarchies.

No spoilers here so I won’t go into too much depth, but one of the reasons I loved this book so much is the strong sibling relationships. Particularly between Larissa and Greta we see a loving, respectful bond full of quips, anxiety and love. And the angst of the slow burn love interest? *chef’s kiss*

Overall all of the characters were really mature and believable, which I loved and can be really hard to do.

Full review to come on myth & magic book club soon.
