I think this is a pretty strong start for a new fantasy romance series. I wasn't a huge fan of the Bridge Kingdom series but wanted to try the author out again and I'm glad I did.
Freya is the main female character and is in a very unhappy marriage. She has secrets she has been keeping her entire life from everyone but her family. When she is put in a position where she has to reveal her secret her life is turned upside down. Freya's journey is not an easy one and I'm sure there is so much more to come.
I listened to the audiobook and I think I would enjoy it more physically reading it so I do plan to reread when the next book comes out and will update my rating if it changes.

Rounded up to 2.5 stars because the setting was good. It’s annoying that Freya would have such loyalty to Skalanders that don’t care about her and Snorri who she thinks is a fraud the entire book but the one person she lOvEs she immediately doubts. It was enjoyable for the most part but I thought the characters were a bit flat. I never really got invested or cared what happened to any of them
Ich liebe Geschichten, die mich sofort in ihren Bann ziehen – und A Fate Inked in Blood hat genau das geschafft. Danielle L. Jensen entführt uns in eine düstere, von Wikingern inspirierte Welt voller Mythen, Kämpfe und Schicksalsfäden, die sich immer enger um die Heldin Freya spinnen.
Freya ist eine starke Protagonistin, die ihren eigenen Kopf hat und für ihr Schicksal kämpft. Ich habe mit ihr gefühlt, gelitten und gehofft, während sie sich zwischen Pflicht, Intrigen und der unerwarteten Anziehung zu Bjorn, dem Sohn eines Jarls, wiederfindet. Ihre Entwicklung ist glaubhaft und mitreißend, auch wenn sie an manchen Stellen fast zu perfekt wirkt – ein wenig mehr innere Konflikte hätten sie noch greifbarer gemacht.
Jensens Schreibstil ist bildhaft und atmosphärisch. Ich konnte die eisige Luft der Fjorde fast spüren, das Klingen der Schwerter hören. Die Handlung hält ein gutes Tempo, auch wenn einige Wendungen vorhersehbar sind und sich das Buch stellenweise wie ein sehr langer Prolog anfühlt. Doch genau wie ein Sturm entfaltet sich die Geschichte kraftvoll und mitreißend, auch wenn sie nicht immer unvorhersehbare Wege geht.
Trotz kleiner Schwächen ist A Fate Inked in Blood ein fesselnder Auftakt, der Lust auf mehr macht. Ich freue mich auf die Fortsetzung!
