This really surprised me. I'm completely taken by Genevieve Gornichec's writing which reminded me so much of Madeline Miller. Perhaps it was because of the lore and mythology bits?
But while it was well written and heart-wrenching in all the right moments, there were also moments of spunk and wit (which of course you would expect of a storyline with Loki) and I loved it!
The pacing was a little off where it started off okay, had moments in the middle, slowed down a bit again and then really finished off with a wham, but that could also be attributed to the fact that the book has no chapters (only 2 very long parts+1 small part) which may have thrown me off a little.
Other than that, definitely recommend and can't wait to see what the author has in store for us next. :)
