This was absolutely a vibes read. Were there cringy eye roll moments? Oh, 100%, but I’m a huge sucker when it comes to anything with a bit of Norse myth to it. It gave similar vibes to The Kingdom of Crows series, where I had a love/hate relationship with the FMC. I didn’t love the extreme height difference between the MMC and FMC, and the fact that she was a bit contrary. Like, she started out strong and then got aggravating as it went on. I did find some of the quips to be fun, and I loved the owl and Frima. The ending had a huge cliffhanger and I find myself more curious about what happens next than I am irritated about the characters attitudes. I also want to know more her gold-touched abilities, so book 2, here I come.
