A good story about perspective and fighting in wars blindly. About humanity and love.
The characters were believable and the story immersive. I love her writing style so that’s always good. Lost a .25 because of open ended questions, nothing crazy for the story but definitely left me wanting answers or wondering why those scenes were included. Lost another .25 because it had a heavy reliance on a religion format but the story could have been told without it, so felt a lot of forced scenes and tie ins to the Norse religions just because Vikings. Otherwise a lovely story about forgiveness and pain.
