I loved the norse elements that made the story and world built. I will de check out book 2!

I wanted to adore this book. I really enjoyed the first half of this read. But i struggled with these and half so much. I think this book would have been much better at series rather then a super long standalone. There was so many POV and they were not distinct enough to make it clear with person head I was in. I liked all the characters, but did not feel super connected to them all. It did not grab my attention and did not keep me focused. I stuggled with the last half of the book!
