WOW! What an epic end to a beautiful duology filled with romance, vengeance, and action packed adventure! I absolutely loved returning to Ailsa and Vali’s story and enjoyed meeting all the new characters (even if Erik pissed me off for most of it 😅).  The ending was as epic as the classic tale of Ragnarok suggests. Alexis tied everything together so beautifully with the with both gut wrenchingly painful and heartwarming moments.

Run (do not walk) to read this series if you love: 

✨ Norse mythology

✨ Ragnarok retelling 

✨ Vikings and Fae

✨ Found family

✨ Second chance

✨ All the spice 🥵🥵🥵

I always enjoy reading Alexis L. Menard’s stories and can’t wait for the next one! Until then, I will be in my Viking and Norse Mythology era watching Vikings on Hulu 😅
