Let me start by express that this is a remarkable book! Danielle L. Jensen is undeniably one of my all-time favorite authors. The world-building is exquisite, with captivating Nordic elements that truly transport you. Yet, the main female character utterly drained my enjoyment of the entire story. I’m accustomed to encountering unlikable characters, often villains that add complexity, but I’ve never experienced such disdain for a protagonist. Her negativity, hatred, rudeness, and condescension were overwhelming—where’s the spark of positivity? It’s heartbreaking that she overshadowed the book, especially since my hopes were soaring to love it. The only thing keeping me from abandoning the series is Bjorn and my lingering hope that Freya will somehow redeem herself. Here’s to wishing for that redemption!
