But then
I am interested in the sequel. I hope Freya puts on her big girl boots and goes to town. Please. I am begging.
I am also still mad and am growing ever more so by the second. Someone deserves a bat.

Sadly I got a dud binding in the first edition/print of the uk hardback which made it different to keep pages open without damaging the spine.
I loved the opening. Strong momentum, banter and intrigue.
By the middle I was flagging. By the last quarter I was bored and skimming.
I loved how excited lots of reviewers have been for this. But I struggled to care. Snorri needed more nuance. Freya needs to be more mature about how people withdrawing secrets is not the same as being “lied to”. The twists weren’t surprising.
I will read book two in 2025.
