When a banished witch falls in love with the legendary trickster Loki, she risks the wrath of the gods in this moving, subversive debut novel that reimagines Norse mythology. Angrboda’s story begins where most witches' tales end: with a burning. A punishment from Odin for refusing to provide him with knowledge of the future, the fire leaves Angrboda injured and powerless, and she flees into the farthest reaches of a remote forest. There she is found by a man who reveals himself to be Loki, and her initial distrust of him transforms into a deep and abiding love.

Fenrir <3
Revisado: 12-01-21
I found the beginning of this story hard to read because I absolutely could not stand the manipulative, narcissistic, selfish slimy little puke that is Loki. I also was not much interested in the mother role and the domestic chores either - it dragged on and on. I felt trapped reading it. I literally spent a day deciding if I should give up listening and find another book. But with such good reviews, I decided to finish it and I am glad I did. When Angrboða gave birth to Fenrir, my attitude towards the book changed. I felt attached to him like I wanted to hold him. I was involved in her life and couldn't stop reading. Angrboða is fierce and strong and I fell in love with her selflessness and determination. It was an exciting and involved depiction of magic and Seiðr (which I didn't know about before) It was fun to hear the Norse tales from this perspective too. Not from the Gods, but from the Giants. I think this book is a beautiful unique read and it will stick with me.

What happens when magic collides with reality? Donald is a young fisherman, eking out a lonely living on the west coast of Scotland. One night he witnesses something miraculous...and makes a terrible mistake. His action changes lives - not only his own but those of his family and the entire tightly knit community in which they live. Can he ever atone for the wrong he has done, and can love grow when its foundation is violence?

I was so excited for this book because I love Selkies but I found myself waiting for something to happen every chapter. The narration is awesome, I love his voice. The writing is great. I found Donald very unlikable even after I gave him a chance after what he did in the beginning. The Selkie was very subservient & docile and that really left me feeling almost sick. Seals have spunk and I thought Marie should of had more personality. My favorite part of the book was Donald's mother with her herbal medicines. And the scene with the Selkie and the children in the pool, that was straight beautiful. Besides that it left me frustrated and wanting more.
