A deeply moving tale perfect for fans of The Bear and the Nightingale. A classical feel and a tender reflection of motherhood and myth and the blurring of good and evil.

ka_ke's review against another edition

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 love everything about this except that it centers around a triggering topic for me and I had to stop.

Somewhat slow, and there are man at moments where I found the main characters to be absolutely infuriating. However, the storyline was compelling and I still wasn’t able to put it down. There is a sapphic storyline, but it isn’t even really acknowledge until the book was almost over, though I was relieved that it was actually addressed in a satisfying way instead of just being dangled in front of us the whole time. Definitely feel like some of the characters didn’t get as much time in the storyline as I felt they deserved. There should also be some trigger warnings as I found a lot of the material to be sensitive, but it’s hard to put into words why, exactly.
