Review
I had really high hopes for this book but, unfortunately, it just wasn’t great. The author spent a lot of time going over mundane pieces of the main character’s story. While not spending enough time on describing the gods. They were all very vague and hard to remember and grasp. It also felt like the author assumed you knew who these gods were when he talked about them, not giving us enough context. The story is also incredibly slow moving. While the writing was great and you feel like you’re in the story, I just wasn’t hooked. I would read it at night and it helped me fall asleep. I would have just given up and part of me wishes I had. As a reader, it felt like I wasted time. As a writer, who is writing about Norse mythology, it did nothing to add to my knowledge of it.
