I didn't have a bad time reading this, I love Norse stories, this just was more cut and dry than I was expecting I think. Definitely pure historical fiction, with dashes of mysticism appropriate for the time.
I'm intrigued by the rest of the series but it may fall too political for me.

I liked the first and second books in this series, but together they don't weigh enough on the positive side to make me interested in finishing the last book. I wish these books were more subversive and surprising. They kind of plod along and besides the slight feminist twist, I'm not really enjoying them wholly.
