1) World: so the world that Mitchell created gives me is very old world/Vikingesque. We don’t get a lot of background of the world or really of the people that inhabit it but I have a very good feeling that we will be seeing more from this author so I’m ok with that. The whole story takes place on a super snowy mountain so there’s a heck of a lot of trudging through snow.
2) Characters: Some were more fleshed out than others but overall I was able to insert myself into the group effortlessly and that’s a huge plus! Who doesn’t like to pretend they’re going into battle right beside their favorite character????
3) Plot: I guess you could say that whole point was (a) to get to the Blackstone & (b) vengeance. A handful of little subplots lead to the main plot and then boom you have a story! That might not make sense to many but I get it in my head lol. I don’t want to really say much because I feel that to really enjoy the story you need to just jump in feet first.
4) Overall: The story was very well written! Everything flowed very well and nothing felt disjointed or clumpy. There were times when I found myself rooting for both sides!! (Technically there are 3 but the 3rd is a 1 person show 😂)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The only problem I have is that 2 characters are saved by a group who say that they will hold of their pursuers but then when that scene happens it lasts all of like 8 minutes? Honestly the whole group being killed off didn’t sit well with me but I do see why it was done.
