i mean it was a great book for its genre, but just not really my cup of tea.
that said, i did appreciate the chance to diversify my reading. literary fiction is a rarity for me, and this book had a unique-to-me plot.
read it for a storygraph challenge, so instead of dnfing, i switched to audiobook to get through it easier

The blood oath must not be broken.
I trace a fingertip over the wet stone; and goose bumps spread up my arms.

you mean the fingertip that was previously bleeding??

12%: must be the boy that appeared at skaga’s house in astrid’s dream
19%: nope, this is the dude from the dream
21%: he really does sound like elsa 😂
39%: surströmming! the fermented fish from I’m A Celeb
40%: girl is kidding herself. soren is falling for her. she just has too many walls up to see it
52%: oh god, this is why

rick took astrid away from amma!! she might have been next

I step forward, feeling his familiar pull. Maybe it's the bond between us, like an invisible string pulling me toward him. Or maybe I'm scared and desperate for any comfort I can find. Last time I stood here, I was ashamed of how much I wanted him. Now I'm ashamed of how much I still do.
