I got this book in my April Probably Smut book box and I'm so glad I did. This book was a fun change of pace from what I've been reading lately. I've always been a fan of Vikings so this was right up my alley. I loved all the talk of the gods and the idea of children with gods' blood having powers was a fun concept. I'm not usually a fan of slow burns, but this was just the right amount in my opinion, and the banter between the two main characters throughout was funny and kept me entertained. Although I predicted a similar twist happening in the end I'm still super excited to see what happens in the next book.
If you're an audiobook listener I highly recommend this one. It was super fun to hear the narrator's accent; she did a fantastic job. Also if you have a Spotify membership it's included and is 15 hours and some change so just skip the credits and speed up a chapter or two and you should be able to listen to it with your monthly credits :)

For the most part, this book was enjoyable. I liked the setting and the premise of Viking demi-gods, however, at certain times things felt out of place. Bjorn was probably the most loveable character and I had a really hard time connecting to Freya. I probably connected better with every other character in the book. The spice scenes often felt out of place or forced with where they were placed in the story and some of the dialogue felt too modern for the time period. Overall, I enjoyed the world building and the story itself so I will probably read the second one.

Freya was kind of an annoying character sometimes with her petulant attitude all the time whilst simultaneously ignoring every opportunity she had to have her own freedom, but I feel like the story did a good job of explaining exactly why Freya is like that. In the next book(s) I'm sure we'll get to see her come to terms with herself and finally figure out how to carve her own destiny. I love how each character has their own flaws and deep characterization. A lot of love went into this story and the characters in it. They're all very believable and interesting to read. I need the sequel already.
