Absolutely loved the focus and exploration of Angrboda as a character, a figure in Norse myth that is mostly defined by her relations to her connections to more famous names like Loki and her children Fenrir, Jormungand and Hel. Often when I read about Norse mythology, she is treated like a side story, an afterthought, a woman who's only notoriety comes from being "The Mother of Monsters." Naturally, maybe that means I need to expand my mythology literature, but still I really enjoyed reading this perspective. It slowed down a bit in the middle for me, to the point where I got a bit lost in just how much time is passing, but gradually it picks up the pace again soon after.
