Cracking good fantasy read. Morally grey characters (male and female). Some disability representation (mute and mechanical arm). And the women fight for their safety/freedom. multi pov in third person. the last third was really engaging and a great mix of plot and character drama.
This book has well paced plot, tension, intrigue and a mix of well drawn characters who react with their flaws and learn with time to change their minds and actions.
The world building is interesting.
I enjoyed the various plot twists. And was deeply satisfied with some near the end that I did not anticipate.
The use of old Norse words was appealing to me (i learned some Swedish in recent years).
I’m eager to read book two.

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.
