Oh my goodness, this book! It makes my heart ache, and have to say is one of my favourites now that I’ve finished it.

To put a super quick summary, this is the tale of Angrboda, who in Norse Mythology is known as Loki’s wife and mother of monsters. She is mother to Hel, Fenrir, and Jormungand (I honestly probably spelt that wrong). She is mentioned in both the Prose and Poetic Edda’s in passing. The story focuses on her.

It is an amazing tale, and was a book I had to force myself to put down. I usually try to read before bed, but I couldn’t since I wouldn’t be able to stop reading. It is written so well, and will really make you feel for all of the characters. Also, yay for LGBTQ+ representation!!! Let me tell you, that was foreshadowed extremly well.

I will be checking out the other books written by this author, as you can tell the research and the love that went into this book!
