Ok, wow. I had no idea what to expect going into this book! Queer romance, Vikings, and witches? This was such a fun novel full of compelling, strong characters. Gornichec is quickly becoming an auto buy author for me.

The Viking Age setting really comes alive. Halfway through, I didn't like the book - all the terrible decisions being made were bothering me. But by the end it picked up again and carried the story through.

Difficult to finish. The characters are annoying and cringe. The dialogue is bad. The story is incredibly slow and draggy. The plot was pretty shallow and it seemed like the characters had no interest in finding Signy because they were each preoccupied with their love lives.
