The Tricking of Freya

First work of fiction in three months. Lordy.

Anyway, I stole this from my mom; it was one of her beach reads. For me, it was a fantastic “sneak in chapters between writing a final paper” read. Sunley's clearly done her research on Icelandic mythology, which was new & fun territory for me to experience, and keeps the pace & plot lively. I'm always impressed when a writer manages to capture the nuances of different psychological disorders, which Sunley also does quite deftly. The story is ultimately about family secrets, and in that regard, I wish I hadn't figured the secret out so quickly, but that didn't diminish my pleasure in the ending.

Good fluff, with a bit more thrown in.
