Great read!
A little slow at the beginning and I found Orka's story a little boring at first, but once the plot kick off it's an incredible read.
Varg is by far my favourite!

This book fucking rules!!! Honestly the best thing I’ve read this year. The writing is so vivid and I love the characters. Finished it and immediately picked up the sequel.

First half of the book reads like a literary version of being stuck in a "my morning routine" YouTube playlist - in that it seems just like a recounting of some sort of a daily step activity for characters I care nothing about. Half way into it, one character gets a mission, while the other two continue to tell us what happens to them next without much of a point. Finally, remaining two get their own mission but it's not like a their mission, they are just swept along for a meaningless ride.
What also happens half way into the book is that we get fascinated with the concept of "thought-cage" (it's a stand-in for "head") and then suddenly we see "thought-cage" on every page. Yes, there are other words on every page, and I am sure many that repeat each page, but somehow, once "thought-cage" gets introduced, it becomes annoyingly overused.
Then there is a retelling of an old fairy tale of fooling a giant but with some minor modifications. I don't know if I should be annoyed at this .. cultural appropriation? .. but somehow, I am.
I don't know if I'm invested enough to keep going here..
