My review
rating: 4 of 5 stars
I enjoyed this book quite a bit–the only thing keeping me from giving it five stars was the ending, which got so confusing that I really lost track of what was happening. Not just in a “this plot is confusing” way, but in a “I have no idea how to picture in my head what these words are describing” sort of way. That’s not a good thing. But other than that, the book did a good job of respinning the Nordic God myths into a new setting with characters and conflicts that were engaging. I recommend the book–and if you can figure out what happens at the end, I’d love to know. 🙂
