This was one of those books where I could guess several of the plot twists early on, but I enjoyed the ride and preordered the sequel. Liked the Vikings-with-magic setting and that it avoided taking a few of the easier routes to get Freya out of her predicament. By the end, she has a better understanding of what she is but is still navigating her anger and the type of person she wants to be. There's an underlying steel to her, and part of her ongoing struggle is learning to take more active control of her own life while dealing with the fallout of bad or complicated choices she made.
