DID NOT FINISH: 95%

my first ever official DNF @95%… I skimmed the whole book and it’s so bad I couldn’t even bring myself to finish the last 5%

The best part about this book is the Norse mythology. I love this area and rich culture. I felt like Freya was really dumb. The fact that she couldn’t see the ending twist coming, cast her character as fairly naïve ignorant. I also felt like the two bloods twist was fairly obvious as well. I don’t know if it’s good enough to continue reading the series.

DNF at 60%. Lost interest
