I received an advanced copy of this through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This had all the makings of a great Nordic tragedy and sadly the writing didn't meet my expectations. I enjoyed all the Norse mythology however inconsistent terminology and the loose plot really brought this down from what could have been a 4/5 star read to a 2.5/3 star.

The characters were also lacking I felt, it felt rushed, and I think I would have enjoyed it more had I been able to get a real feel for the characters, if their bonds had been stronger rather than just weak suggestions.

A great premise, some good moments, just not executed as well as I had hoped.
