pickMostly OK but I had to skim sections about who fought who and why of Snorri‘s kin. Most interesting is that we get all of our Norse myths from a man who lived in 1200s Iceland which influenced Tolkien and others.

Random book from our personal library.
I received this from LibraryThing Early Reviewers. Still need to read it.
Started a book about early Iceland and a famous poet who wrote about Norse myths and the sagas.
Thank you @CrowCAH for the card with the lemon & orange tea and feather bookmark! Excited to try a new flavor!
@Daisey Thank you so much for everything! You were so generous with this swap! I love your book choice - I loved Percy Jackson and another hero series that‘ll be a fast read is perfect for getting me out of my funk. I‘m excited to try all the cocoa/tea/chocolate! And the tote and postcards are cute!

so-so⭐️⭐️⭐️ In a weird-for-me twist, the romance was actually my least favorite part of this. I thought Jensen did a great job creating the setting, bringing in & fleshing out the Norse gods & culture, and giving readers an easy way to understand all the people & connections.
The romance felt very fast, which doesn‘t usually bother me, and forced, so I didn‘t connect with it as much.
I‘m glad I finally read this & I‘ll definitely read book two!
