Overall Thoughts:
⁕ The Viking world was so brutal, but totally believable. I was grateful that, despite being a YA read, Young didn’t shy away from the blood and gore.
⁕ I didn’t care for the major romantic relationship of the story, but the dynamics between Eelyn and her family members were so dramaful and juicy. Young did a great job building tension between Iri and Eelyn, especially.
⁕ Most of the book was super action-packed, but I felt that there was a slight lull after Eelyn got captured by the Riki. Some of the scenes depicting her doing chores for them felt repetitive and slow.
