Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I enjoyed this book, especially at the beginning. The 'magic' in it was interesting, and I always love a bit of Norse mythology.

However, the ending felt rushed and wasn't very impactful.
I also really don't like characters magically coming back from the dead in most cases, so that ruined the ending for me. I feel like its overdone and ruins the suspense/emotion of the story.


There was also fatphobia at the beginning, and I didn't like the main character calling herself ugly or looking like a monster for as long as she did. 

I probably won't be continuing the series, but it was a fun read.
