 I liked the mythology behind it, but the romance plot and Martha was just too annoying to me to really get into the book. Martha and I had a few things in common, so her constant thoughts of how ugly she was because of her eye wasn't nice to read. I kept trying to remember she's only 17, but I just couldn't move past it. Which is why I rated it so low. The actual plot with the tree was fun, and I liked the other characters, even Stig and her mom.

I didn't like this that much and wasn't fully paying attention to the audiobook, so the content warnings might be mentioned more than a brief mention or description.
