I may be partial because I come from a Scandinavian background and love any reference to, or story about, Norse mythology. And the fact that it was intertwined with fae fantasy was even better. I appreciate the research the author did when writing this book. There were some grammatical errors which others have pointed out but personally, as annoying as that can be, it didn’t take away from the story. I LOVED Maz and Reyna’s love story and I didn’t want to see it end! I’m pretty sure there won’t be any more books on them but I’d love another and could easily read 300 more pages about them ruling the shadow court with their budding family and building alliances with the gold, ice, fire and earth courts. Omg and Dak’s death?!?! I could’ve done without that haha that was too sad. With the cliffhangers that killed me, grammatical errors that annoyed me, and deaths that made me sad, all in all I still loved it and would recommend this series to anyone wanting to read a short and complete fantasy series.
