Barrow of Winter by H.M. Long
4.0
Thank you to Titan Books & NetGalley for the e-ARC in exchange for my honest review.
As always HM Long delivers a truly cinematic experience. The story follows Thray in her quest to discover her true mortality (I am really parsing down the summary here to avoid spoilers) Thray is a dynamic, layered character. Her varying interactions between peripheral characters is where she shines - is she a villain? Or a hero?
The prose is so atmospheric & imaginative that I could almost feel the cold at times and it was easy to picture every setting, every fight.
Despite being in the same world as the other two books, this functions as a standalone. It does reference previous events and characters but you don’t have to have read the others to get everything from this story.
The plot is complex - filled with betrayal and a depth of emotion.
This is definitely a read for fans of Nordic/Viking action, Skyrim, and those interested in the cost of mortality/immortality
