About this listen
YOU’RE MINE IN LIFE AND DEATH—BODY AND SOUL.
In the depths of the Finnish wilderness, more than wolves roam the dark woods.
When a death goddess attacks their village, best friends Siiri and Aina prove helpless to stop her from dragging Aina into Tuonela, the mythical underworld.
Determined to save her beloved Aina, Siiri braves a dangerous journey north, seeking help from the greatest shaman of legend—the only person ever to venture into Tuonela and return alive. There’s only one problem … the stories say he’s dead.
In Tuonela, the cruel Witch Queen turns Aina’s every waking moment into a living nightmare. But Aina soon learns that the God of Death himself has plans for her.
To escape, she strikes a costly bargain with him, not knowing that Siiri plots a daring rescue.
In this sweeping fantasy adventure—perfect for fans of Adrienne Young and Genevieve Gornichec—hope and love must conquer even death itself.
“Rich, vivid, and brimming with emotion, North is the Night pays touching homage to Finnish culture and mythology while forging a unique path all its own. … You will weep and cheer for Siiri and Aina as they find their strength and claim their power.”—Vaishnavi Patel, New York Times bestselling author of Kaikeyi

He’s cold-blooded, manipulative, and savage. The worst part is that no one sees his devil side. I do. And that will cost me everything. I run, but the thing about monsters? They always chase.

I have never been favored by the gods. Far from it, thanks to Zeus. Living as a cursed office clerk for the Order of Thieves, I just keep my head down and hope the capricious beings who rule from Olympus won’t notice me. Not an easy feat, given San Francisco is Zeus’ patron city, but I make do. I survive. Until the night I tangle with a different god. The worst god. Hades. For the first time ever, the ruthless, mercurial King of the Underworld has entered the Crucible—the deadly contest the gods hold to determine a new ruler to sit on the throne of Olympus.

When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow.

No, her life had been spent sheltered, protected from an inevitable fate that would come for her regardless of what anyone could do. After her medical condition goes downhill, she is left with a few years of breath in her lungs and a choice: die alone, without ever experiencing what it truly means to feel alive and free; or to find that light, that missing puzzle piece, that feeling of not feeling so alone in her final days.

It was great to learn of the Finnish folklore, mythology, and earliest tales through Siiri and Aina. The plot was predictable but the journey toward its conclusion was as adventurous as it was satisfying. I look forward to the next book.

Finnish Mythology Never Looked This Fierce
My Review:
4.5 ⭐️ .5 🌶️
North is the Night by Emily Rath is a dark fantasy masterpiece steeped in Finnish mythology. When Aina gets kidnapped by a death goddess, her bestie Siiri grabs her metaphorical sword and says, “Not on my watch,” kicking off a rescue mission through icy forests, legendary shamans, and scheming gods to save her.
The story alternates between Siiri’s badass quest and Aina’s clever survival in the underworld, with sapphic vibes simmering just beneath the surface. Rath’s lush prose brings snow-laden landscapes and eerie mythological realms vividly to life, while her characters leap off the page. Siiri’s fiery determination and Aina’s quiet strength are equally captivating, and their allies—like a goddess of disease and a mystical bear—add depth to the tale.
Packed with twists, mythical chaos, and a mystical bear you’ll want as a pet, this book grabs you by the parka and doesn’t let go. Richly atmospheric and packed with heart-pounding twists, this book is perfect for fans of folklore-driven fantasies. It’s gripping, immersive, and engaging. I can’t wait for the sequel—this duology is destined to be a classic.

4.5⭐️ 1🌶️ 4🎧
- Dark Fantasy
- Epic Quest
- Finnish Myth Inspired
- Shamans/Witches/Gods oh My!
Wow! Just wow! I finished this book earlier today and it has taken me hours to process my thoughts. If you are looking for a fantasy with baddie FMCs on an epic journey back to each other as they face terrifying villains and surprising allies, all inspired by Finnish mythology then look no further!
I don’t know how Emily does it. She is such a versatile writer. This was so different from anything else she has written. I know she’s said it before but it really does need to be repeated that this isn’t a romance or romantasy. This is a fantasy with romantic elements.
I loved Aina and Siiri. They were both so strong in their own way. Siiri’s strength was her love and determination and Aina’s was her caring and selfless heart with a backbone of steel. While this book definitely had sapphic elements, and it is obvious from the beginning how Siiri feels about Aina, Aina’s feeling for Siiri weren’t so clear.
I also loved the friends and allies they made along the way. Only Siiri could find the unfinable shaman and convince him to train her and only Aina could befriend the goddess off illness and disease. Don’t even get me started on my complex feelings about Tuoni, the god is the dead.
I can’t wait see what trials they will face in South is the Sea and how they take on the Christians.
Khaya Fraites and Emily Lawrence did a wonderful job narrating!

Disappointed
I have a lot of thoughts about this book. Firstly, I have a copy of the physical book and let me just say, it’s one of the most gorgeous books on my shelves. That is what initially caught my attention when scrolling, then when I read that it was a Finnish folk tale I was sold! I love anything Nordic, so I was super excited about a Nordic fantasy. That being said, this was very much disappointing to me. Firstly, there was a lot going on in the story from the get go and I honestly feel like this would have been much better had it been broken down into 2 books. I know this is book 1 in the series, but it really should have been 1 &2. For the length of the book, I expected it to be dripping with descriptions of the Finnish landscape, lifestyle; however, I still have no idea how to imagine the setting at all. In addition, I don’t really know how any of the main characters look either, the only characters I have a vivid picture of is the 3 witches. Secondly, since this was basically set to describe the lore of Finnish gods, I would have expected there to be more descriptions of their history, and magic system; again, there was very little. And like I said, this was a long book, so it felt too long not to have that better described. Thirdly, this was marketed as a sapphic book, but that doesn’t even come into play until the very end. Yes, the two main characters talk about each other in terms of endearment mostly reserved for a lover- but it’s never outright stated. Fourth, while on the subject of the main characters, both got on my last nerve. They were so incredibly indecisive and never seemed confident in their decisions. There was so much potential to have two bad ass FMCs and I was very unimpressed with them throughout the entirety of the book. Fifth, and lastly (though I could list more quite honestly), it seems as though this story started out as a sapphic romance with a rescue mission, but then sort of divulged into a lot of side tasks that never really got fleshed out.
Now, for some positives, I do think that some of the writing was poetic and pretty, so I definitely think this series has potential to become better. I do greatly respect authors that write in one genre to crossover into a new genre- so that in and of itself is a positive. However, I think that this one could have been edited a bit more to show rather than tell. Another positive was the narration. Both narrators did a lovely job.
Will I read book number 2? Most likely not, but I will still keep the lovely physical copy on my shelf to admire its beauty.
