I fear I didn’t have the best of time with this book. At first, I thought it was because Norse mythology wasn’t my fave, but I like all mythology.
What I think could be the reason was most of the characters were unlikable and unempathetic. Even coming from a culture that craves war and bravery, I’d expect some empathy; especially when they reviled Freya for doing the same things they did. That, combined with a slow start (though there were action scenes, it seemed the plot itself didn’t pick up until the final third of the book), didn’t bode well for my enjoyment of reading. 
I will say, though, the author did a good job at setting the scene and describing each place we journeyed to. I particularly liked the Draug scene and wish the whole story could have kept that pacing along with the good writing style. 
Unfortunately, I saw the plot twist from a mile away. (Maybe because I read too much and have been burned by characters before). 
So…am I going to read the sequel? Probably but I’m not going to try to get it right when it comes out. I just hate leaving things unfinished. And hey, maybe it’ll be better.
