The Witch's Heart by Genevieve Gornichec
3.5

Not a lot happened in the 1st half of the book and while that's usually a negative, it was my favorite part of the book. The 2nd half felt all over the place and really dragged on. The <i>Circe</i> comparison is accurate for me as I was also underwhelmed by it. I love mythology and retellings so both should have been right up my alley and in the beginning, I loved them but by the end I was struggling to stay interested. The portrayal of Loki was great and Marvel has clearly ruined me because I couldn't not picture Tom Hiddleston.

That being said, the cover is absolutely gorgeous and the author's writing is enjoyable.

Thanks so much to Netgalley and the publisher for the e-arc.
