This book. ugh. I honestly don’t know what to say. I don’t know how I feel. I wanted to like it. And I did. I did like it. But it was really just a little better than “okay.” In theory, the characters were fun, the world was great, and the plot was super interesting, but the writing was just not up to par, and that made it really hard for me to get invested in. The pacing was often dragging and yet too rushed at points, the ‘plot twists’ were extremely predictable in a way that I found frustrating, and the characters, though I liked them, didn’t feel fleshed out enough for me to truly feel invested in them.
I really enjoyed the Norse myths aspect. I don’t know how accurate it was, but it was fun and interesting and felt well-researched to me, but since I know next to nothing about the myths, I can’t truly say.
It was fine. More enjoyable than not. I just couldn’t get into it, and I didn’t enjoy it as much as I had hoped to.
