Tooth and Blade is a collection of 3 Norse fantasy-inspired YA novellas. Dota is a girl brought up by trolls in their subterranean cave, who discovers she is in fact human. She enters the human realm and is soon drawn into clan and kingdom battles there, whilst also seeking to protect them against Grethor, her bloodthirsty troll brother. There is a sense of menace in the book, but the violence is never graphically described, and the themes of identity, loyalty and family predominate. There is also a queer subtext which is never laboured but is an integral part of the story. I found this a gripping story grounded in research (I enjoyed spotting nods to the Icelandic sagas), which kept my interest until the end. The ending of the third novella is satisfyingly complete, but leaves the door open to further installments. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Parts 1-3 of the legendary TOOTH AND BLADE series together for the first time! Two worlds. One destiny. Do?ta has dwelled sixteen years among the trolls. She knows nothing but the darkness of her family's cave. Her mother says humans are beasts who would slay them all. Yet the gods of Asgard whisper in the night: Do?ta is a child of men, a monster unto monsters. To discover her human side, Do?ta must take up her bone knife and step into the light above. Secrets await her in the human realm-beauty, terror, the love of a princess. Soon Do?ta must choose between her clan and humankind, or both worlds will be devoured in fire and war. A monster sheds no tears. Norse mythology meets historical fantasy in TOOTH AND BLADE. Step into a realm of haunted meres, iron and magic. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
