The Rot by Siri Pettersen

5.0

This story will take you on a roller coaster of emotions! A layered fantasy that will draw you in and keep you suspended as it unfolds.

We pick up right where we left off in Odin's Child, if only a bit forward. Hirka's journey has always felt inescapable in a way, where her choices would mount to something grand. She has always had a calm about her even when she was on the verge of losing it. Love is what motivates and moves her, the people she has come across through her journey are written on her heart.

The amount of information that was unloaded in The Rot blew my mind. The pacing was quick but it never felt rushed. The sense of urgency was for good reason! I absolutely groan when the characters make decisions that seem wrong; yet sometimes things must come down to be built up proper.

I cannot wait for the third installment! Thank you to Arctisbooks for the review copy in exchange for my honest review!
