Book Review: The Witch’s Heart by Genevieve Gornichec

Rating: 9/10

If you like Madeline Miller’s books, especially “Circe,” you should read this.

This book is just so good. Angrboda is an amazing character; she practically flies off the page. Her love is so passionate and steadfast, despite how much she is hurt. Her devotion to her children is the story’s anchor. Personally, my favorite of the kids was Fenrir. Despite being torn apart by pain and betrayal, Angrboda never stops giving to those she loves. I loved the plot twists, especially the romantic ones. The relationships between the women are so well-written and complex. This is such a wonderful modern adaption of Norse mythology; It provides a fresh take while still being totally plausible in Norse myth. Please read it. You won’t regret it.
