panAngrboda 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.
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!
