I really, really enjoyed it overall. I love the Vikings aspect and the Norse mythology so much and now I wanna rewatch the show Vikings haha. But tbh I found Freya to be whiney and annoying. She had her good moments but I wanted to slap her a lot too 😅 Bjorn though, I love that man 😮💨🫠🥵 and the rest of the characters.. meh lol. Snorri the snorlax (IYKYK) is the absolute worst lol. I loved the vibes of the book, and found the plot to be intriguing. But I struggled with the *twists* being pretty obvious, and really wish they would’ve been more subtle for more of an impact!
