Synopsis:
When Lena's younger sister Fressa is found dead, their whole Viking clan mourns—but it is Lena alone who never recovers. Fressa is the sister that should've lived, and Lena cannot rest until she knows exactly what killed Fressa and why—and how to bring her back. She strikes a dark deal with Hela, the Norse goddess of death, and begins a new double life to save her sister.
But as Lena gets closer to bringing Fressa back, she dredges up dangerous discoveries about her own family, and finds herself in the middle of a devastating plan to spur Ragnarök –a deadly chain of events leading to total world destruction.
Still, with her sister's life in the balance, Lena is willing to risk it all. She's willing to kill. How far will she go before the darkness consumes her?

The Weight of a Soul, wraps you in a mythical intrigue holding you in a whimsical dream-like state, and it throws you in and out of a web of emotional chaos. Featuring Vikings, and Norse Gods, the novel tells the story of the heirs of Clan Freding. Starting with an emphasis on the familial, and characteristic relations between the characters, the novel immediately gets to work setting a scene, and weaving its web. Carefully traipsing the line of reality, and mythology, we experience a death, a pledge, murder, heart break, feelings of betrayal, understanding, and the reuniting of lovers. Above all other things, this novel is brilliant. It’s linguistic magic runs parallel to a wonderfully constructed plot-line, likeable characters, and an easy read.
I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
