4.5

this might be kinda vague because i wanna talk about some moments in this book without spoiling anything so apologies if it is.

the way signy and astrid's relationship is handled is really cool. i like how it progressed and how it kept changing, even at the end.

the way loki is handled is my favourite thing in the world. definitely how loki is when i work with him in my witchcraft.

the relationship between sune and amon. oh my fucking god, even at the end they still had me reacting in my seat to the way they just bounce off of each other. like the subtle hints you pick up on about them had me fucking reeling.

this book really made me softly cry twice. i wasn't full on sobbing but i had tears pricking the corners of my eyes at 2 different points in this book. 

the way other characters, both main and side, were incorporated into this final book was brilliant. getting to see ned and darius and rathi and others come into the story again was just magnificent.

the only issue i have is that at one point, a character mentions something called cherokeen. i felt this was very insensitive as the cherokee people are an actual people and i don't think tessa should have mentioned them in the story as i felt it was wrong to norse mythologize their history and culture. however, i can't speak accurately on this as i am not native.

apart from that one small point, overall, this was absolutely beautiful, by far my favourite book in the series.
