WOW. Took about halfway through to pick up the pace, but that’s due to great world building and scene setting in the first half. There were twists that I predicted, and twists that I definitely didn’t predict. This book is fantasy first, romance second, so if you don’t enjoy more high fantasy, high stakes, this might not be for you. 

I loved it and I will be getting the second book ASAP

3.0

Repetitive and slow because of it, but the story itself was interesting. I wanted a little more of the Bloodaxe Crew member's backstories, but maybe that will happen in book 2. Silla is so frustrating, but that gives the reader the same feeling that many of the Crew feel about her. Honestly, I was most interested in Skraeda than anyone else until the very end.

A romantasy with Icelandic and Old Norse influences that started pretty slow but quickly became intriguing. The plot twists kept things interesting but it ends with a HFN. Def can't wait to read the sister's story, preview in the epilogue.
