I loved this book. Full stop!
A Fate Inked in Blood pulled me in with a masterful blend of history and magic—though magic plays a pivotal role, it’s woven into the Viking Era with such restraint and authenticity that it feels like a seamless extension of reality, rather than myth. Jensen crafts a unique, immersive magical system with care, detail, and consistency, making this a world I could truly step into and inhabit.
Then there’s Bjorn. From the moment he emerges from the fjord, he steals every scene. He is the epitome of a Book Boyfriend—protective yet never overbearing, a true partner in Freya’s journey to becoming a Shield Maiden. Their dynamic is built on respect and equal footing, with Bjorn offering counsel rather than controlling her choices. He has her back, and she has his… until the shocking turn that sets the stage for Book Two’s cliffhanger ending.
Intense. Immersive. Unputdownable. A Fate Inked in Blood grabs you by the hand and pulls you deep into Freya’s world—and it won’t let go.

Finally! A romantasy I actually liked!
The worldbuilding really carries this book. It just feels so lived in, with lots of lore and traditions. The romance was more lust than love, but Bjorn had enough personality that I still enjoyed their interactions.

I really enjoyed the first half of the book but then something happened a little past the halfway point and I kind of lost some enthusiasm. I can’t put my finger on why. I still really liked it in the end, but I’m not sure, despite the cliffhanger ending, if I will read the next.
