DNF.

I got bored. So bored. I was 30% in and nothing had happened?
The characters were not compelling they were cardboard cutouts of people I should care about but don't. They had no depth. The multi POV was too much. One or two POVs would have been enough for this story not 5.

I skimmed most of it. I kept waiting for a big bang to happen like something big and revealing that will move the plot forward but it didn't happen.

The premise sounded so good and it fell so flat. It failed in what it promised to give. The worldbuilding was lacking a lot. I expected more Norse and just got... hardly anything.

Wish I'd never read it.
