A beautifully woven story. I love a good quest.  It took me longer than normal to read, but I enjoyed making guesses and then putting the pieces together. 

My initial thoughts in the first half:
Freya is a badass. 
Snorri is a terrible leader. He’s just another man with an over inflated ego and blind entitlement. 
I don’t trust Steinunn. 
The sprayed edges are the most beautiful thing ever. 

Starting around chapter 31, freya really bugged me with her reckless choices. She felt like a totally different character from the first 60% of the book. It was fun seeing my guesses come to fruition in the last ~5% of the book. Bjorn is such an iconic man-written-by-a-woman.
