A nice enough retelling of the Norse myths, interspersed with descriptions of how they are impacting a young girl's worldview. Nothing very new. But the nature descriptions, lists (a very Norse motif) of kinds of fish, kinds of plants, are lovely and poetic.
Moderate: Animal death, Death
Minor: War
