I don’t mind slow pacing, but I can’t stand reading about pregnancy for chapters on end. I would recommend avoiding this book if you have no desire to experience pregnancy, childbirth or parenthood. 

What could have been a story of adventure, romance and diversity  turned into a book about women becoming mothers simply because that was expected of them.

I did like this, but good grief the male lead was such a POS. I feel like Angrboda was an interesting character and I much more enjoyed her without Loki. I liked that her journey was her own in the end, though I wished she’d had more time with the other, better, characters.

I really enjoyed most of this book, even with how weird it got at some parts,  and would recommend it to anyone who considers themselves fans of Greek mythology, however, I will say the character development on several side characters left more to be desired with a certain few characters to be quite lacking for how important they end up being -

the two sons that she births

- but even so this book is still really solid.
