5.0

Reading this book is like sticking your head out of a car window while you’re doing 90 on the highway.  It has, mmm, about one chapter of build-up and then it’s absolutely fucking breakneck until pretty much the end.  I would read the sequel right this very minute.  I love how fucking furious Freya is, Bjorn is a fucking delight, and the magic system (prominently featuring “my parents had a threesome with a god” as a very normal thing to encounter) absolutely rules.  Honestly one of my favorite takes on the demigod trope.  No notes.

Recommended for people who read and loved Percy Jackson as a kid and want a (vaguely) similar magic system, or for people who read and loved Animorphs as a kid and want to talk about The Horrors Of War(TM).
