tiffabell 's review for:

Shield Maiden by Sharon Emmerichs
3.0

I did really enjoy reading this. The story moved along well and I loved that we got view points of all the main characters thoughts. The writing was great and drew me in from the very start. World building was perfect as well. What it lacked I think is better editing and more attention to the details of the plot. Slightly better character development would have been good as well.
A few things didn't fit the timeline of the story properly which bothered me the most. For instance their should have been a decent enough age difference between Theow and the twins that their playing together wouldn't have happened when he was still learning the new language. I also felt the point of the dragon curse was a little lost in the story. I kept expecting more out of that but didn't really get it.

Still it was an enjoyable read.
