The Witch’s heart is a Greek retelling about Angrboda, Loki’s first wife. It is a story that takes place removed from the primary action of Greek mythology. There are long periods of inaction, which sounds boring. Yet, while the story was not exactly action packed, it also was very entertaining. 

I listened to this book via audiobook. The narration was fine. I tend to like my audiobook narrator to blend into the background. Jayne Entwistle, the narrator, was a bit more distinctive. It actually is probably a happy balance between those who, like me, are fine with text to speech narration and those who prefer a more dramatic narrator.

In all honesty, as much as I continue to read mythology retellings they aren’t actually my thing. But, The Witch’s Heart is an excellently written book with solid character. The plot is slow, but it is well done. If you like mythology retellings then this is probably a book you will fall in love with. Personally, I am glad that I listened to it. It was a great tale.
