📖 I absolutely fell in love with Ragnar and Maia and the entire troll culture and society she created. This book had so much depth that you may not realize looking at the cover or reading the blurb... It showed how women should be treated (and how they shouldn’t), how looking and being different can lead to cultural divides, but also how those divides can be overcome by the desire to understand paired with a dose of kindness. Don’t get me wrong though, the romance was absolutely there too! The progression from hate to dislike to annoyance to acceptance to interest to yearning to love, all while blanketed in complex feelings of devotion and protection from the start. Troll culture is beautiful and if I could move to Trollveggen tomorrow, I would. I cannot wait for the next book!! So I’ll just be over here dreaming about my broken boy troll and his book 🫶🏻
