I found the modern language was jarring to all the effort the author put in to all the nochts and deys in, for me it didn’t work. The use of Ass and F U pulled me out of the world.

Huggin and Munnin felt like charactures rather than fully fledged people with their “do be dos” 

. I didn’t get any Norse mythology links references other than Odin’s companions so I was confused whether this was a reimagining of Norse mythology or just a bit inspired by it. I didn’t mind the gods and their interference.The positives were that I loved her magic, how she used it, how it flowed and how she could follow it in other bodies be out into the world. How it transformed I do think the last 100 pages feel like a much better book. This story has me confused because even though I haven’t loved it I feel like I would thoroughly enjoy book 2 a lot more. We will have to see.
