This book was terrible for 80% and was just okay the remaining 20%. The characters were so flat and there were about 300 pages of needless fluff.

WOW. Took about halfway through to pick up the pace, but that’s due to great world building and scene setting in the first half. There were twists that I predicted, and twists that I definitely didn’t predict. This book is fantasy first, romance second, so if you don’t enjoy more high fantasy, high stakes, this might not be for you. 

I loved it and I will be getting the second book ASAP

Trigger warnings: Violence, death of parent, graphic sexual content, sexual assault. 

I've been really interested in Norse mythology and folklore since playing Assassin's Creed Valhalla a few years ago, so that drew me to this book. I am *not* a big fan of romantasy in general, so some of those themes were a bit lost on me, but overall I enjoyed the book despite its relatively slow pace. I liked the characters and the buildup of the relationships among them as a group, and the epilogue left me wanting to continue with the series. This was not necessarily something I'd make a habit of reading, but I did enjoy it for what it was.
