The Blood-Tainted Winter by T.L. Greylock

4.0

This is quite a good book, but for me it seems it didn't come at the right time. I had to backtrack a lot, as I somehow kept losing my place in the story.

Despite this, I quite enjoyed this dark, Norse inspired tale!

The Blood-Tainted Winter is full of loyalties, betrayal, duty, vengeance, war, plenty of fighting, and the occasional god.

It's a bloody and grim story, and the prose and tone fit perfectly into this world of warriors and battles.

I really liked the main character, who is honest to a fault and tries to do the best with what fate offers him. The contrast of him being very steadfast in his morals, and fighting with the way forward he has chosen, I front of this harsh time and setting worked really well.

All in all it is a well rounded story that was a joy to read!
