Valkyrie Destined

A good fantasy based on Scandinavian mythology. No idea why Loki wants to kill the female principal but he does. She has been prophesied to become a goddess, thus immortal, and to kill her best friend and lover. She falls for her best friend but also feels compelled to be with her childhood fight teacher. She does make a decision between the two potential mates before the end of this installment. We also see the fulfillment of the prophecies in an unexpected way as she builds allies, friends, and enemies, presumably so she is not alone in upcoming books in the series. FYI, there is both hidden violence and blatant chaos as the root of the book's action. Don't read this if obvious violence bothers you definitely earned the 4 stars. It probably would have been 5 if I didn't object to the violence. I especially enjoyed recognizing the northern mythology.

I really enjoyed this story! I loved the inclusion of so many characters from the author’s Valkyrie Legacy series as well as Dahlia from her NEON series. The story is well written with compelling characters – including some powerful gods from Norse mythology, and several supernatural shifters. There’s plenty of action, drama, angst and conflict along with some steamy MF encounters. I’m looking forward to Valkyrie Shattered, for the continuation of Azzie, Zeke and Davyn’s tale.

too long winded with so many different characters did not hold my interest
