Winter break reading, with cats. #CatsOfLitsy #Loki #SamuelLCatson

Angrboda is punished with triple burnings for not sharing her knowledge with Odin but she manages to escape & flees to the remote woods. There, she meets Loki, they fall in love & have three children but they are the harbingers of Ragnarok.

I wanted to like it but Angrboda is so passive for most of the book, just letting things happen around and to her. So much of the story was about how powerful she was but she never did anything with her power.

I found this . . . convoluted.

Absolutely loved this and a large part was the audio narrator. I feel like most Norse retellings trod the same ground so this POV was a nice surprise.

Beautifully written and wonderfully evocative. The first third was a little rough (I like banter, but I found it repetitive here) but there‘s a moment mid-way through the story where everything clicked into place and I devoured the rest of the story in a few sittings.

My last completed book for 2023…and it was so good! I am unfamiliar with Norse mythology but quickly became enamored with Gornichec‘s telling of Angrboda. Beautifully written. Another #LiteraryCrew book I‘m finally finishing!
