Similar with the other issues and volumes of this series i felt like there was missing information. 
I liked the concept and i wanted to really like the characters however i felt like we didn't really know the characters. If the author was hoping that the reader would use their own norse mythology knowledge to fill the gaps they didn't do a great job of referencing the mythological stories. (i know norse mythology and i was confused with what was going on or referencing to). 

In the end i also found the plot a little muddled , it was confusing to see what was the point, i understood what the author was trying to say and tell but the execution wasn't great. 

overall this series was ok, wasn't the worse i read and the art work was nice , i just felt like the plot needed to be worked on and the characters needed to be fleshed out more. this series could have definitely used a few more issues to do that.

Not as good as I remember the first two volumes being.

A satisfying conclusion, but I want the world for Aydis. She deserves a forever love

Volume 1 ★★★★☆
Volume 2 ★★★★☆
Volume 3 ★★☆☆☆

I didn't realize this would be the last volume of the series. Unfortunately, this felt sooo rushed and disappointingly lackluster as a result. Nothing felt emotionally impactful, even though the things happening would have been very interesting if they'd been developed properly.

❓I read this title for the 2021 Whatever-You-Want-Athon!❓

A disappointing end to an otherwise incredible series. The ending was rushed, lacking impact and emotional depth. The art was far less expressive and lacked the maturity of the first two volumes. I'd still recommend this series, but with a caveat that this volume doesn't hold up with the first two.
