Solid debut! I really enjoyed the characters and learning what drove them to do what they did. It was a bit slow at times, but I’m definitely interested in picking up the sequel.

This weaves historical fiction and fantasy in such a rich and beautiful way. This is for my mythology lovers, Viking history aficionados, and fantasy enjoyers alike. You should read this if you also want to read about strong complex female characters (hello murderous mommy Gormflaith). Very heavy on the history and a slower read, but am still very excited to read the rest of series after this strong setup.
