A review by velsbooknook
By the Sharp and Shadowed Wings by Rachel N. Harker

4.0

A norse inspired romantasy with lots of banter, found family, double POV, gods and monsters, spice, fate and prophecies.
I loved the world. I love norse mythology and it just felt like home, reading about the different norse realms. 
Revna was a fierce and strong character, but she also had her raw and weaker moments, which just made her a well rounded character. Fenrir was the big protective wolf. Supportive and communicative - all I want in a MMC. I loved their dynamic together and how their relationship formed through out the story. 
I had a little kombucha girl moment with this book and I wasn't sure if I'd like it or not. So hear me out: I really enjoyed the first third. Getting to know the characters and jumping in this big and beautiful, with norse tales filled world. In the middle, when things were about to get spicy I wasn't so sure anymore. It reminded me a little too much of ACOTAR and I did not like the romance in this series. That's probably why I skipped most of the steamy parts with this book. There was just too much talking and I was more interested in the world and story than I was in their romance. The last third was great again and I maybe just have to start skipping steamy parts more often. 
I'm very looking forward to the next book because this cliffhanger was just mean. If you loved ACOTAR I think you will enjoy this one even more than I did. It was a great debut and I'm excited for more of this world. 

Thank you to the author for the eARC in exchange for my honest opinion.
