A review by always_reading_romance
The First Girl Child by Amy Harmon
3.0
⭐️⭐️⭐️ 2.5 stars rounded up to 3.
I guess I’m confused. I KNOW this wasnt supposed to be a romance. I get that. I thought when i initially bought it that it was, but after reading some reviews I figured out that it wasnt.
Still, it took 300 PAGES OF SET UP BEFORE ANYTHING HAPPENED. I shit you not. 300 mother effing PAGES. And the book was only 391 pages long! Not only did like NOTHING happen, I dont even exactly know what the entire ass point of this book was. I mean I get the premise but honestly, you could have read the blurb on the back of the book and been just about as entertained as you would be reading the book.
What I Liked
-The Norse Mythology. That shit sucks. me. in. No matter what, if there’s some mythology, I’m game. And the book started out strong with runes and twins finding out they had blood magic and a curse and by page 40 I was all “hell yes,” and then came 260 pages of FILLER and my excitement dissipated pretty quickly.
