I loved everything about this book. From the descriptions of the world it's set in to the relationships and depth of feeling that the characters showed. It does have very violent scenes but if that doesn't bother you I would highly recommend this book.

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!!

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.
