Shield Maiden

I don't think I was in the right headspace to read this book - I struggled through it. I enjoyed the Beowolf-eque-ness of the book and the callout to the poems/stories/characters; I enjoyed how the author spun the poem and made it their own thing. The multiple third-person POVs were tricky for me to track; I lost count of how many it seemed to have and how fast it would change.

In saying that, I will be rereading at a later time and a better headspace; hopefully, it will allow me to have a better appreciation of the book!
