the book: (has conflict between characters)
me: WHY CAN'T YOU ALL JUST GET ALONG
seriously though, this book made me feel some real ass emotions. Angrboda and the tragedies her family goes through are front and center, and while I was extremely ;A; at the way several people behaved, it was written in such a way that it made sense that they would behave that way/say those things.
Angrboda's personal journey in the latter half of the book is interesting, but it feels a little light, or unfinished, if that's the right word? Maybe I just wanted more out of it, or wanted a happier ending, but I assume the author made the choices in her conclusion that she did for a reason. It definitely fits the book, but ultimately any dissatisfaction I have is more because of my own Norse mythology headcanons than any fault in the author's writing.
