The Children of Gods and Fighting Men
by Shauna Lawless
The joy of this story is how slowly everything is built up and truths are revealed. You need patience to read this book, but your patience will be rewarded.
I liked both our POV characters. They were so different and both brought such different things to the story, and I honestly couldn't pick a favorite. I liked Gormflaith's unapologetic cunning and Fodla's compassion and relative naivety. I usually dislike when the two POV's are so separate but I didn't mind it here. I think having them in closer proximity for Book 2 will be very entertaining.
I think the world feels very fleshed out because it draws on a real historical time period. I like the tidbits we get of magic, and I'm hoping this aspect gets to be explored more later in the series.
