A review by timwhitecastle
The Blood-Tainted Winter by T.L. Greylock

4.0

This feels a bit like a return to my roots here. I mean, sure I love fantasy, but I sidled into it after reading lots of Bernard Cornwell‘s historical fiction. (The Warlord Chronicles remain my favourite Arthurian retelling to this day!)

TL Greylock managed to transmit that same feeling in this book. You follow a young man called Raef who must give up on his dreams of sailing the whale road, and ends up in an epic battle with fantastical elements (army of undead warriors, Loki‘s involvement, etc).
I‘ll definitely pick up the next books in the trilogy.

Ragnarök is coming (and not winter)!
