The Voyage of Freydis by Tamara Goranson
Did not finish book. Stopped at 15%.
I received an eARC from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own
The Voyage of Freydis tells the story of the first and only woman to lead a Viking voyage across the Atlantic. I was so excited to read this book. I have been wanting to read a book featuring Norse mythology and the fact that this was about an independent woman was a plus! I was hoping for a great story full of backstabbing, escape, and intrigue. Instead I felt like the book dragged and Freydis just kept getting beaten (both mentally and physically). It also felt like the writing was very detached to what was happening to Freydis. I am not sure if that was on purpose, but I was not a fan.
