I took a long time to actually sit down and read this darn book because the beginning was a bit slow for me.
BUT once the world building a character back story was done and the action and adventures started? Oh hell yes. The book had me hooked.
If you like:
- Norse inspired fantasy
- violent fight and battle scenes
- badass women especially Orka
- great characters
- surprises at every corner
- a shocking ending
- neat creatures
Then this book is for you. Looking forward to book two… which I’m gonna ready soon!
