Excellent writing, really weird plot and I just don't totally get the point of this book. Which is sad because I felt like it should have been good

Five stars, page turner. Anything I say will be a spoiler but I'm a sucker for SFF that can make me laugh. Very original concept with some good old tropes like "wakes up with no memories" and side comment footnotes.

Moderate: Blood, Cursing, Death, and Murder

Minor: Suicide attempt and War

Cursing infrequent, includes such words as "he**" and "hot d***", plus one "arse" and 2 occurrences in another language. Also a few invented curses.

Romantic content:

Past tense girlfriend. Budding relationship with hand holding, horseback riding "pressed together", she-smells-good, and general sappiness.

Spiritual content:

Norse-ish gods are real--some discussed, one acting unseen, and one corporeal. Brownie stories (called "wights" in this book) real and acted out daily. The wights are shadow-like and accept small offerings in exchange for favors.

I am an eternal B Sands stan, but this wasn't really it for me. I liked the format of the special edition I have, and the concept is sound. But some of the themes didn't quite land.
