4 Stars – A Bold and Engaging Fantasy 

A Fate Inked in Blood is a gripping Norse-inspired fantasy filled with action, intrigue, and a strong heroine at the center of it all. Danielle L. Jensen creates a vivid world of gods, destiny, and betrayal that immediately hooked me. The mythology woven into the story added depth, and I really enjoyed how the main character fought to shape her own path despite the forces working against her. 

The pacing kept me turning pages, and the romance was an exciting layer without taking over the story. At times, the plot felt a little familiar in its tropes, but Jensen’s sharp writing and immersive world-building gave it freshness. 

Overall, this was a thrilling start to a new series that blends love, power, and fate in a way that kept me fully invested. I’ll definitely be picking up the next book.
