I’m not really a fantasy fan, but Norse and Greek mythology gets me every time. Such a great way to begin the new year.

(New review) I remember this book feeling like a bit of a slog to get through, but i found it immersive and enjoyable, and I particularly enjoyed the

I know very little about Norse Mythology but I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's hard to like stories about fate and unavoidable destiny's because you ultimately know what happens when the terrible thing is revealed. But the way it's handled here leaves the main character not striving to change what she saw (which would've been a big turn-off) but instead influence what she didnt see. I also love a resilient queen who literally refuses to die at the hands of power crazed men/gods.

Uno dei migliori retelling di mitologia uscito negli ultimi anni

I found the characters predictable in a cartoonish way.
