As someone who usually finds Norse mythology, or just mythology in general, very compelling, I couldn't get into this book. Maybe it was something about how slow it is or how little I'm drawn to the characters.

The lack of world-building doesn't help either. In a world where humans and immortals live side by side, they don't really go into how that changes society other than the bare basics.

The ending is incredibly anti-climatic and I didn't feel any tension at all. One character that's supposed to be somewhat powerful gets taken out in one page, as does another character they had difficulty beating before. It's definitely a book that goes 0-100 really quick and not in a good way.

I hear this author's other work is pretty good, so maybe I just picked the one dud first. We'll see if I come around to reading her other stuff.
