This was everything I could have hoped for. After devouring the first of the Bridge Kingdom duology, this was a return for me to what I originally loved about Danielle L Jensen's writing.

Freya was such an interesting character, dealing with finding her own sense of self amongst the men who would seek to use her for their own gain.

The Nordic influence of the setting and mythology was so engaging and handled in what I felt to be a really respectful way. The choice of narrator (Nina Yndis) was a perfect choice and it was excellent to hear the pronunciations from an actress with Norwegian heritage.

I can't wait to see the rest of Freya's journey!
