Going into the last 50 pages I was thinking this was going to be a 4.75 star max just because of how long it took me to read. Though it was only 5 days, which doesn't seem long, the reason it took me this long was because I was putting it down and just not picking it back up for no reason in particular. Also there is not a real depth to the world building, taken more time with the characters and relationships and there were things that were predictable. However, the ending had me reeling, even with the one reveal that I guessed. I also just couldn't stop thinking about the book and what was going to happen next and trying to work out what the ending was going to be. It was so quick paced that there was never a chapter that wasn't moving the plot along and something important happening, often some sort of action. I loved Freya and Bjorn, both individually and together, they just were perfectly balanced. I loved how Freya had to battling sides to her and it was just so interesting seeing the conflicting sides. I am so excited for where the second book is going to take us as the ending set up for a lot of complicated decisions and I am not sure how things from this book are going to effect how things will work out in the next book. I have been craving a 5 star read as I haven't had one in 5-6 months and I picked this up hoping that it would bring me those 5 star feelings and I am so glad it did.
