The Witch's Heart by Genevieve Gornichec
5.0
**Thank you to Netgalley for kindly providing this Arc**
*****4.5 *****
This was a such a beautiful read, This Norse Mythology retelling told in Angrboda's POV (Loki's giantess wife) and their infamous children captured my heart in a way i did not expect it too. This book will give you all the feeling and I have not stopped thinking about it since i finished it, leading me to dive into some research.
There is nothing but one or two mentions of Angrboda in Norse Mythology and Genevieve Gornichec - while yes this is fiction - brought her to life while blending in and sticking to Norse mythology stories. I am definitely not an expert in this subject however I do love Norse Mythology and very aware of Ragnarok, Loki's children and the gods mentioned.
Yes, The Witch's Heart has a slow start but once you get into this story you will not be able to put it down, I loved that there were no chapters just parts, the pacing was great as I was able to get through it in one sitting. The relationships felt modern which I was not expecting but I enjoy a bantery romance that Loki & Angrboda had, I honestly could not stop smiling while reading their interactions from the start. Honestly the relationships in general from them to the Angrboda's love for her children and for her friends are written so beautifully.
This book will pull at your heart in a way you wont expect it to.
