Queens of the Wyrd by Timandra Whitecastle
5.0
While this book isn't flawless, it's a brilliant read nonetheless!
If you like the following, look no farther, read this!
• Strong female characters who still are individuals and not just stone cold assassins
• Norse mythology
• Humour and plenty of witty banter
• A quick and easy read
• Fast paced and cool fight scenes
I loved the characters in this one. I enjoyed mums and just "regular" women being the main characters and still being awesome. I'm not maternal and no mum myself, and don't intend to ever be one, but the theme still absolutely worked for me.
They mythology part definitely works best if you already have some basic info about it, as it's often not described in great detail, so it gets a lot more depth of your brain just adds in more backdrop. This does make for an even quicker read, and doesn't take away from the book if you have some knowledge of it already. Only if this s your first encounter with the topic it might lack a bit of depth.
The above mentioned flaws are a rather big amount of small errors / typos and and time it's just a bit too quick and solutions a bit too easy. So it's not the deepest or most thought provoking book ever, but it is a hell of a lot of fun and I devoured it.
Absolutely highly recommended!
