Ever so grateful to keep reading this series

Hervor! Hervor the shield-maiden! She is the epitome of bravery and lineage. So so loving this story and the unfolding of this series. Loving every word I read.

 
This series is really just wonderful.

This might be my favorite installment so far. 

We get to see Hervor come face to face with her grandfather and finally give him the comeuppance that he deserved, and I have just been waiting for this moment since ten pages into book one. It was everything, and I love Hervor all the more for it. And Svafa. This woman is amazing and so flipping badass. I really hope that we get to see more of her and Yrsa’s story come into play now that they’ve moved from Dalr into Bolosmo. 

I also loved seeing Leif and Eydis’ little family bloom. And Hervor and Hofund with their little Blomma. The little sentimental and cute moments in this book are so well placed, and there are just the right amount of them to kind of keep the battles and politics in balance with the lives of all of the characters. 

Seeing everyone flourish in this one was wonderful. Oh, and Hella and her Jarl! Ugh. My heart is just so invested in these books. But I also love the wars and the battle sequences. They’re so well done and keep me on the edge of my seat. I can’t say enough good things, and as always, I can’t wait to get into the next one.

This series is getting better and better. The magic and mystery are woven so well. And romance takes a bigger role in this book which I lovely to see. I can’t wait to see how everything that’s been hinted at unfolds!
