A dark fantasy Norse myth retelling for fans of Circe, The Witch’s Heart, and The Silence of the Girls.
Welcome to one of the September 30th stops on the blog tour for The Goddess of Nothing At All by Cat Rector with Storytellers on Tour. Be sure to follow the rest of the tour for spotlights, reviews, author guest posts & interviews, and a giveaway! More on that at the end of this post. #thegoddessofnothingatall #unwrittenrunes #storytellersontour #readindie
I would like to note that I intended to review this title in time for my scheduled stop on this tour, but unfortunately I’ve been unexpectedly busy this week and wasn’t able to finish in time. This is definitely not a book I want to intentionally DNF, I’m enjoying it, so I think I owe it to the author and this book to continue reading when I have time and share a completion review when I get there. Fortunately I plan to participate in Norsevember and this book is a great fit so I have double incentive to get the review out in a reasonable timeframe. Look for this one coming back to the blog soon!

A dark fantasy Norse myth retelling for fans of Circe, The Witch’s Heart, and The Silence of the Girls
Perhaps you know the myths.
Furious, benevolent Gods.
A tree that binds nine realms.
A hammer stronger than any weapon.
And someday, the end of everything.
But few have heard of me.
Looking back, it’s easy to know what choices I might have made differently. At least it feels that way. I might have given up on my title. Told my father he was useless, king of Gods or no, and left Asgard. Made a life somewhere else.
Maybe I would never have let Loki cross my path. Never have fallen in love.
But there’s no going back.
We were happy once.
And the price for that happiness was the end of everything.

About the Author
Cat Rector grew up in a small Nova Scotian town and could often be found simultaneously reading a book and fighting off muskrats while walking home from school. She devours story in all its forms, loves messy, morally grey characters, and writes about the horrors that we inflict on each other. Currently, she lives in Belgium with her spouse. When she’s not writing, you can find her playing video games, spending time with loved ones, or staring at her To Be Read pile like it’s going to read itself. The Goddess of Nothing At All is her debut novel.
