A Fate Inked in Blood by Danielle L. Jensen

DID NOT FINISH: 16%

---

An unfortunate DNF. Overall this really wasn’t my vibe and I really struggled to like the FMC. The writing style felt off to me (I still can’t put my finger on why) but it made it hard to read physically. I did try to read the audiobook too but ended up losing interest quickly and had a few besties reassure me that this read would not be for me. So sad that I didn’t love this since I love this new edition 😩💙 if you like strong-willing FMCs and a Norse mythology/viking landscape, this may be the book for you. I will admit the magic-system intrigued me but it felt too much like a handful of books I’d read before and went through some avenues in terms of the plot that made it feel predictable to me, which ultimately made me lose interest unfortunately. 

tysm again Penguin AU for sending me this copy. Rest assured, I will be gifting this copy to someone who will enjoy it more than I did 🫶
