I was really eager to read this book when I saw it pop up on my good reads. Whilst it wasn't the most disappointing book I've ever read, it wasn't the best either. I have never classified myself as a follower of any of what are considered Pagan Religions but I have always held an interest in knowing and learning about them (mainly wicca). I am torn between being a believer, and a non believer, if I believed in any deities it would be those from the Pagan Religious groups. Whilst I have never had much of a interest in the Norse Panthenon it is something I plan to learn about one day.
But sadly even due to my interest in them, I couldn't get into this story. I found the writing style a bit dodgy, it flows well but it seems to flow well for spoken conversation not written reading. Normally this isn't a problem but at parts I had trouble understanding and had to reread it multiple times. There where parts of the story where the author relied massively on subtext, and I couldn't for the life of me figure out what had happened.
