The Apple Throne by Tessa Gratton
4.0
Gratton does a good job of tying up story lines from the first two books in this third book that finally brings together Astrid the seether and Signy the valkyrie. Soren the Berserker is off camera for most of the book, although Astrid's continued memories of him make his presence felt.
This is Astrid as Idun's book. Here she has to reconcile her desire to serve the gods with the loss of her ability to change fate and act on the world. Luckily, one of Thor's half-mortal sons, Amon, and a young Hunter who is helplessly in love with Amon comes along for the ride.
Yep, its another road trip as Astrid seeks out answers to why Soren would be charged with murder and to solve the final riddle of what to do with the troll heart Signy won in the last book.
If you started this series, this is a satisfying ending, however, Gratton does such a good job with the side characeters (including Amon's sister who catalogues bones in a crypt) that I wish there were books that told their stories as well.
