The Witch's Heart by Genevieve Gornichec fiercely retells Norse mythology and gives life to a woman left in the footnotes of the Poetic Edda : Angrboda. She was known as Loki’s consort, the bringer of grief, and the mother of monsters. However, this book introduces a rarely told perspective. It paints a sympathetic portrait of the giants and explores the love of a mother and her grief as well. It tells the story of how Loki and Angrboda grew to love each other as well as how they how they raised their children, sheltered away at the corner of the world. Over the course of the novel, I felt myself becoming attached to this odd little family, which only made the ending hurt all the more. All in all, The Witch’s Heart is a heartfelt and at times humorous read that humanizes gods, giants, and monsters alike--making for one beautifully compelling and tragic story. Thank you, NetGalley and Berkley Books, for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review....
