Thanks to NetGalley, the author, and publisher for giving me this ARC book to read and review for free. First off, the cover is beautiful, it's what drove me to it the most, the title is pretty catchy too!
This one was interesting, it's a YA fantasy series with Norse mythology. I personally am a big fan of mythologies but never had the chance to read a Norse one yet (I like Loki and Thor from MARVEL though). It's told from the perspective of Elin who is a dormant descendant, Aedan who is an unregistered clan member and has special abilities, and Tristian who is a Hunter out to find dormant. It's pretty YA generic but its focus wasn't romanced even if it seemed like it was a love triangle, I absolutely didn't ship any with anyone... I guess the chem wasn't there or I just don't see it. Anyways, the writing style was fun and the worldbuilding was done fairly. The book's main conflict is never really stated and understood well like it's some political thing, the clans are being mean and unfair or something, not sure... This book got me hooked and interested in knowing more, the ending isn't resolved as it's set to be a series so we'll most likely continue there in the next book. The plot was kind of slow at some parts though and I couldn't understand why Elin thought she liked those guys... She still was an interesting character but I just saw her accepting that she's some special person was done too quickly. Like in real life people wouldn't get comfortable with those supernatural stuff so fast?! But anyways the book was pretty good, especially as a first and I'd like to read the next ones too! I'm excited as I love fantasy books with mythology and no romance focused. So, yeah read this!!!
