Welcome to Litsy!

Last day of spring break. ##CatsOfLitsy ##BratPrincessOfAsgard #Loki

Absolutely loved this and a large part was the audio narrator. I feel like most Norse retellings trod the same ground so this POV was a nice surprise.

Beautifully written and wonderfully evocative. The first third was a little rough (I like banter, but I found it repetitive here) but there‘s a moment mid-way through the story where everything clicked into place and I devoured the rest of the story in a few sittings.

My last completed book for 2023…and it was so good! I am unfamiliar with Norse mythology but quickly became enamored with Gornichec‘s telling of Angrboda. Beautifully written. Another #LiteraryCrew book I‘m finally finishing!

This was SO pretty. At times sweet, funny or heartwrenching.
After being burned by the gods, Angrboda resigns herself to existence alone in the Ironwood until Loki returns her heart. It takes more than the trickster god to bring her from her life of solitude. As her life grows, so does the threat from the gods.
I‘m not knowledgeable on Norse mythology by any stretch, but it was exactly the characterization of Loki that I wanted & expected.

Keeping the goals simple, out with the old, finish off my current reads. I‘m not very far into any of these but would love to wrap up a couple before the end of #Wintergames

Thank you @AmyG for my #JolabokaflodSwap23 i cannot wait to dive into this book!!!

Thank you @MaleficentBookDragon for organizing & hosting!!!

Other than some name recognition I do not know much about Norse mythology. The story lagged in a couple of places for me but overall I enjoyed this tale of Angrboda, Loki and their children. 4 🌟

I went into this knowing very little about Norse mythology so it started out a bit slow for me not really feeling like there was much of a direction. Once you hit the second section this book really takes off! The finish is incredibly strong and will make you feel all the emotions. Hard to put down after that! I would be interested in reading more Norse based stories after this. Read for #literarycrew and gifted by @CBee THANK YOU!

Long ago, when the gods were young and Asgard was new, there came a witch from the edge of the worlds.

I‘m 100 pages in and loving this #LiteraryCrew October book.
