Such an interesting and intricate young adult story full of grit, adventure, and betrayal. I loved the story and it’s arc, the Viking feel, and the moral arcs. Felt a little like a tamer version of the game of thrones vibes. Poetic writing.

adventurous tense medium-paced

A good book to read, with twists I couldn’t see coming—but after finishing, thinking back on it there is no one event that stuck out.
