A good story about perspective and fighting in wars blindly. About humanity and love. 
The characters were believable and the story immersive. I love her writing style so that’s always good. Lost a .25 because of open ended questions, nothing crazy for the story but definitely left me wanting answers or wondering why those scenes were included. Lost another .25 because it had a heavy reliance on a religion format but the story could have been told without it, so felt a lot of forced scenes and tie ins to the Norse religions just because Vikings. Otherwise a lovely story about forgiveness and pain.

I enjoyed the characters and the premise. It started very exciting, but the majority of the book was rather slow, despite covering a short span of time. I wish that the themes of war and prejudice had been explored more in depth. Everything was tied up very neatly and quickly. Part of me wanted it to be more messy than it was. I think it was an enjoyable light read, but if you're looking for a more thought provoking read, this isnnot what you're looking for

I really enjoyed the last half of this book but did find the first half rough because I'm kind of a sensitive reader and there was a lot of loss and sad situations. But I did wind up liking it by the end!!

I liked this a lot more than I thought I would (after reading the reviews). That shows me not to blindly trust others' opinions.
It is slow at times, but it really did help characterization and my love for the different relationships grew in those moments. And sure this is primarily a fantasy romance, but other interpersonal connections got their time to shine as well.

PS start the year as you mean to go on. I finished this book in a day.
