The characters were believable and the story immersive. I love her writing style so that’s always good. Lost a .25 because of open ended questions, nothing crazy for the story but definitely left me wanting answers or wondering why those scenes were included. Lost another .25 because it had a heavy reliance on a religion format but the story could have been told without it, so felt a lot of forced scenes and tie ins to the Norse religions just because Vikings. Otherwise a lovely story about forgiveness and pain.

It is slow at times, but it really did help characterization and my love for the different relationships grew in those moments. And sure this is primarily a fantasy romance, but other interpersonal connections got their time to shine as well.
PS start the year as you mean to go on. I finished this book in a day.
Moderate: Sexual harassment
Minor: Sexual content
