Jen's Reviews > Fallen Gods

This book is a totally bingeable romantasy ride (and yes, I did binge it in 24hrs) where Norse myth crashes into modern college chaos and honestly I was here for the whole beautiful mess 😅 It’s not deep, it’s not broody, it’s not trying to reinvent fantasy… it’s just fun. Think American campus life, modern slang, enemies-to-lovers with insta-lust and that “turn your brain off and enjoy the vibes” energy ✨

Aric and Rey’s connection? Fast. Sure there’s some history there butL it was mythic magnetism with zero resistance fast. Did I want a slower burn? Yesss. Did I still cheer for them anyway? Also yes 🔥 The plot zigzags all over the place. Sometimes predictable, sometimes “oh dang, didn’t see that coming”. But always entertaining. The side characters and twists keep things moving, even if the world-building and emotional depth stay on the lighter end.

The real star here is the Norse mythology woven into a modern setting ✨It gives the whole book this magical-realism shimmer that made my myth-loving heart very happy ❤️

Is it chaotic? Absolutely. Is it fun as hell? Also absolutely.

Will I read the next one? Probably… just not camping outside the bookstore for it 😆👍.
If you love mythology, messy magic, and stories that don’t take themselves too seriously, this one hits the spot.

Thank you so much to @RachelVanDyken @entangled and @netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for my honest review! And for also letting me take part in your readalong!
