Beast Becomes Her: PTSD, Power, and Norse Myth in a Dark Retelling

Today I’m reviewing Beast Becomes Her by Crystal Seitz—a dark, emotionally charged retelling that tackles PTSD, domestic abuse, and healing through a lens of Norse mythology, particularly the lore of berserkrs.This story blends raw, real-world trauma with mythic transformation, exploring what it means to survive, reclaim power, and redefine yourself after being broken. The use of Norse elements adds depth to the narrative, reinforcing themes of rage, resilience, and identity.🎧 Tune in for my spoiler-free thoughts on how the book handles these heavy topics, what worked, and who this intense, character-driven fantasy will resonate with most.
