First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines? If you want to make your own post, feel free to use or edit the banner above, and follow the rules below:
- Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page
- Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first (I cheat a little bit here *cough*)
- Finally… reveal the book!

Hello, reader!
We’ve made it to the end of another week, which means it’s time for First Lines Friday! This week, I’m featuring a book that has been hovering around my radar since it was released. It finally got on my TBR after it was chosen as a book of the month for a Goodreads group I’m in. I’m excited to give it a read!
Now, time to read the first few lines and see if they ramp up my excitement even more.
The Line(s):
“Long ago, when the gods were young and Asgard was new, there came a witch from the edge of the worlds.”
The Hints:
This is a fantasy centered around Norse mythology.
It has a gorgeous cover which may be half the reason I wanted to read it.
It was a Goodreads Choice Award nominee for Fantasy last year.
