i went in not really know what to expect except for that i felt a little lukewarm on sistersong, but i had a great time and i do really like holland's writing and the depth of her historical knowledge.

Pretty writing and a generally fun adventure. It just didn't hit as hard as Sistersong for me.

This is a gender flipped tale of the wild hunt, set against an early British history where the Saxons are still at odds with the Britons. There are rich characters here, and a deft weaving of fantasy and history into a pacy tale that keeps the reader turning pages. I realised after I read this that I also have Sistersong on my to be read pile, a similar type of of novel by the same author; and this has now jumped up the list.

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC! Here is my honest review.
This was a wonderful mix of historic England, Fae and strong female warriors. My favorite! I thought the switching of POVs was a great way to tell each piece of the story. Aethel is my favorite kind of FMC. She is strong of mind and body and loyal. As the story is told she is torn in different directions and I found myself rooting for both. I enjoyed trying to figure out the mysteries before the characters and was pleased that I wasn’t always able to. It can be irritating at time when you can see what is going on but the characters can’t lol. Overall, this was a wonderful read and would recommend to anyone who enjoys FMCs, the show Vikings and all things Fae.
