I think this was my first ever Viking book and I loved it! I love Norse mythology and it was cool to see some of the lesser known gods talked about in the book! The Vikings were not a peaceful people so it was fun reading about the battles in the book!
Overall I enjoyed the characters in this one. Bjorn was fantastic! The typical alpha male you would expect in this kind of story but it worked so well! I do have to say our FMC Freya drove me nuts for a solid portion of the book… she could be such a badass at times but I thought she was so self destructive and stubborn. She would be so confident and self assured and then a page later she would be doing the opposite of what she was just so confident about. I’m hoping we see a bit more character growth from her in book 2!
I’m really excited about the turn this book took at the end too! I thought it was a bit obvious it was going this route but I didn’t think there was anything wrong with that! I was so excited to see my theories coming true! Super curious to see where this story goes in the next book!
