This was a fun book! It was a bit predictable with plot beats and the plot twist at the end didn't surprise me at all, but it was still a lot of fun. In fact, knowing what the plot twist had to be made the last few chapters more fun. If you read a lot of fantasy, you might get a little bored, but I haven't read a contemporary fantasy in a while so it was nice.
I think the author writes characters very well. I liked Freya the whole time even when she made choices I didn't like, and I understood her motivations. Bjorn was also a good love interest. We didn't see into his mind, of course, but he always respected Freya, something that she noted and cited as a reason she liked him herself. That was very nice.
The whole cast of characters was interesting truthfully and while we really only dipped our toes into the lore, I think it's very interesting. I will definitely be following this series to see where it goes.
