Medieval setting with strong Norse myths flavour and a heavy emphasis on warriors, many of whom are women. In ancient times actual gods physically walked the world but they caused a terrible catastrophe and people descended from them are cast out and hunted down.

The story is a real page turner and mostly successful in achieving suspension of disbelief. Recommended.

If you're looking for a solid fantasy with multiple POVs and an immersive Norse mythology vibe, this is the book for you.

Each character is well rounded and unique, giving an in-depth story from each perspective. They mythology was also rich and grand, really immersing the reading in the journey.

I listened to the audiobook, which made keeping track of the names a bit challenging, so I would recommend reading it in print if that may be something you struggle with. But the narrator does an excellent job with character voices and storytelling.

Definitely a high quality fantasy story, and I definitely recommend.

Excellent ! A rollicking tale in the Norse tradition with fascinating characters and detailed battles. Fans of Viking stories and epic tales will enjoy.

Whoa... What a rip-roaring race through battlefield after battlefield! And the cliffhanger ending - now I'll need to wait patiently for the third book in the series to find out what the fates have in store for Varg, Elvar and the others.
