It's been a while since I've read a Cinda Williams Chima book, but I was absolutely obsessed with the Heir chronicles way back when. I'm pretty sure I've read The Warrior Heir like 5 or 6 times, at least. I loved it so much when I was in high school.
Chima does such a good job with world building in her books, while also casting them with characters that imediately draw you in. With the popularity of mythology for middle grade and teens, I think they'll be drawn to this one. There's magic, adventure, and a school where things aren't quite what they seem. Of course, it has to be the first in a new series, so I'm definitely going to have to read the other books!

The gods have died and magic has gone from the world each year farms produce less, winters are hard, and people are struggling. Hidden away on an island is the remains of the magical society. We follow Reggie a thrall who is a con artist who’s master just uses her as she discovers how to stand up for her self, and Eiric a coaster who goes on a journey to save his family farm and discovers more about his families past.
This story was a great story it was more Viking historical fiction with magical myth mixed together. Great characters with awesome development, villains that you can see and some that are unexpected.
⭐️I received this as an ARC copy for my honest review⭐️
