Fabulous first book! I've been craving more Viking-esque stories and this one fits the bill. We follow Silla as she pursues safety and peace, finding more than she bargained for along the way. 

I loved:
Author's portrayal of disabilities/inclusivity (prosthetics, sign language, etc.) as well as the invidious nature of addictions and lies. The themes of trust, loyalty, and friendships were beautiful and messy (realistic!). 

I disliked:
Excessive (to me) F*bombs that many times felt a bit forced and pulled me out of the story. The world is violent and crass by nature, so it wasn't unexpected, just felt like too much for my liking. 

Overall the story kept me hooked through to the last sentence. I'm looking forward to where the series leads.

An exciting read, and an amazing start to a series that I'm now deeply invested in. I loved the characters and the found family aspect. I look forward to continuing this series and knowing what happens next!

I wouldn’t call this a slow burn, and I’m not exactly happy with the way the romance turned out. It’s confusing to follow all of the names and get the lore straight. There was so little development of the magical system that I’m still somewhat confused.
