Really enjoyed the Nordic type Fantasy story. Didn't know what it would remind me of, but man was it good.

The protagonist is sure of herself, but that doesn't mean that everything goes her way. Her ideals and beliefs are threatened, and how she works through it...felt honest and true.

Also, the battle sequences were amazingly realized in my head as I read the scene. Each one was unique and true.

To live in a society like this...each day is a moment, and you really don't think too far into the future...for tomorrow you may be dead.

I'm so excited to see what comes next.

I really enjoyed this book! We get to know the main characters backstory a bit before any drastic really happens, which sets a good base for the main plot to develop. Definitely a great enemies-to-lovers book. Set in (Viking?) villages, there is a continuous war between the followers of two different gods. Every five years, the two sides fight in a particular field, fighting to avenge the blood feud declared between the two gods. Everything changes when an impossibility happens, and Eelyn finds herself surrounded by enemies, learning how to survive in a new way and path in life. A common enemy appears, pulling the two clans into a reluctant alliance. 

There is SO much tension in this story, but it really keeps the reader engaged. The reader gets to watch as Eelyn struggles through her emotions and difficult situations, and enjoy watching her develop into the character we end up loving. There are definitely some difficult topics touched on, like the threat of sexual assault, violence, graphic violence, and lots of loss / grief.

First 150 pages or so were extremely boring, but the rest was filled with events.
