4.5 stars! Might round up later! We’ll see!
I have a lot of thoughts about this book! Having read it during senior year, it did take absolutely ages! That said, I really enjoyed it!
Pros (spoiler free)
- Loved the writing! Every setting was incredibly vivid and immersive! And the Worldbuilding was lots of fun!

The plot, however, is meandering and constantly interrupted by random encounter fight scenes. Fun to play as a game, less fun to read. And those fight scenes are gory to a level that I just don't enjoy. It also suffers from being only half a book, and I'm not sure I enjoyed it enough to pursue the sequel right away. We shall see, but overall, a unique piece of norse-inspired fantasy though not entirely my cuppa.
