"Her fate is inked in blood. It's carved in her bones"
Im just going to say here and now this book is a book i will from now on recommend to anyone who will listen to me and need recommendations!
I went into this book with only knowing its involving Norse Mythology, vikings and magic and if you follow me here for a while and read my posts you know im obsessed with Norse Mythology so when i saw a post about pre-orders for this book i just straight away pre-ordered especially after seeing the UK hardback version with the runes underneath the jacket and blue sprayed edges.
The story starts with the female main character in her house preparing fish and living in a house with her husband who has a drop of blood of the gods. Its nice to read a book with someone who doesn't start out single for a change, just already married even though it was not something she wanted.
The world building was what was needed to know you got to know! Honestly having knowledge on the Norse Mythology already is nice as not everything is told on what it is exactly. But in my opinion im already glad no explanations where given as that would probably irritate anyone who reads it.
What i in my opinion loved a lot is that i got to know some things about a lesser known goddess of the Norse Mythology! It got me excited as i knew almost nothing and when you do research in general about the Norse Mythology you won't read the name very quick or much either. It got me excited that it wasn't some hero story either of someone who saves the world or something but rather a fmc who has no idea what is going on. For me it was a fmc who was somewhat normal (outside of ofcourse the magic)
The writing style is very nice and quick. The book does have a few spicy scenes but these were spice in a nice actual love kind of way and perfectly placed in the story! The relationships building up nicely between characters!
