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.

This was a quick, easy read. The fantasy was very light but the world building was still interesting and the characters and their interactions were entertaining and endearing. The last chapter was amazingly satisfying.
