I liked the beginning, got frustrated in the middle, and didn't like the ending.

I really enjoyed this story. I love mythology so the fresh take that the author brought was fascinating to me. I was infuriated by some of Freyas choices , however I understand how human it is to let your emotions assume full control. Bjorn is everything! The slow burn romance  was perfectly paced and left you wanting more. I devoured this book but there was just one scene that took a star off for me. So check your trigger warnings .

While I was enjoying this story, the content is just way too graphic. Not only was there too much spice, but the way people and animals were treated was too much for me.

Thank you so much to the author, publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this book early.

Right off the bat: wow. I was so taken in by this world and these characters. Such a strong start, and the momentum keeps up!

Freya has spent her life longing for the glory of battle, while being forced to hide her God given magic. But, of course, nothing can stay hidden forever.

After her magic is forcefully revealed, she is whisked away from her small fishing village to join the side of Snorri, the Jarl who believes he is to control Freya's fate.

Children with God's blood are believed to create their own fate, free of the threads that bind mortals. But Freya finds herself bound by a Seer's visions of her rise to glory, and her own desperation to save her family from the Jarl's wrath.

Honestly, I thought I knew where this book was headed.. and many times I was wrong. Which is truly the best part!

I have also come to *love* Jensen's ability to write a slow burn. *THE TENSION* 👌👌

I cannot wait to see where this series goes!
