That Good Mischief by Lyra Wolf

5.0

Lyra once again knocks it out of the park with Book 3 of their series.

Disclaimer: I'm a colleague and writing partner of Lyra's. I had the joy of helping out with one of the final drafts of the book, and I probably a bit biased toward their work. But I don't care, Lyra's a genius and you should read this book. MWAH.

Just like every book in the series, That Good Mischief is a great mix of pain and humour, with a dash of desire. Fans of the series will know how On Brand this is, but rest assured that Lyra has turned up the pain in order to give Sigyn The Worst Time Ever.

Lyra has many skills, but my absolute favourite in the way in which they take godly figures and display them as raw, passionate, human-like beings. The book is full of introspection and very relatable emotional moments. The serrated edges of the Loki-Sigyn-Odin dynamics cuts the reader and the characters in equal measure. These moments are skillfully done, and you'll find yourself looking forward to them just as much as dreading them. There were several times during my reading that I DM'd Lyra to let them know how much of a monster they were and also HOW DARE THEY.

If you like getting hurt, but also rewarded for it, you're going to love this book.

Oh and there's two fight scenes that now live rent free in my head, and the end of the book will leave you begging Lyra to write faster.

That Good Mischief is an excellent addition to Lyra's series, and you should absolutely be reading it.
