I’m torn between 3.5/4 stars.

A magical Norse Mythology tale filled with gods and monsters that’s perfect for fantasy and mythology lovers. ⁣

Confession - I was drawn to this because I love the Marvel movies. This book took my love of Thor, chewed it up and spit it out in the best way! Talk about reading outside my comfort zone! ⁣

Angrboda is a witch with a special sight of foreseeing the future. Angered because she would teach him her ways, the God Oden burns her three times, leaving her without her heart and a mere husk of the woman she was. Loki steals her heart and returns it to her thus beginning a love affair with her and fathering her children. I won’t get into any specifics because the story is best left to unfold naturally as you read but it is a powerful tale of love, resilience, friendship and ultimately motherhood. ⁣

There is a lot of world building and overall character development versus lots of action but it was all so fascinating that I just went with it and the story paid off. Angrboda is such a captivating character. ⁣
⁣
A great book to pick up if you enjoy fantasy and/or mythology or are just looking forward a change of pace! ⁣
