Reseñas Varias sobre este libro
This is a wonderful viking fantasy book that will keep you entertained throughout. I really d our main character Solveig and her shield maiden Arn. The battle scenes were vivid and engaging. That being said I only gave this book three stars. I did enjoy this story and will continue to read future books in this series but for me the story was a bit repetitive. Travel/fight/travel/fight. I'm not quite sure why it took me longer than usual to read this book but I was forcing myself to finish instead of reaching for it. I do feel that many people with absolutely love this book and I get that, but for me there was just something missing and I can't quite put my finger on it. Some other reviewers complained about the language used and there not being a glossary which I can see as an issue, but luckily for me this was not the case as I had read similar books with similar language but had I not, it may have been a bit more difficult.
Overall I will stay the story is well done and if you are in the mood for vikings and battles, then definitely pick this one up.
Thank you NetGalley, Orbit Books and Lilith Saintcrow for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

3.5 Stars
This is a solid start to a new Norse-inspired epic fantasy. The writing was good and characters were fairly developed.
I d the worldbuilding we got but it felt underdeveloped. If I'm reading Norse fiction, I want rich, in depth descriptions.
This was a good first novel but it very much felt a start. I forward to the next novel to see how the story develops.

3.5 stars.
While I did really this book, it was hard to get through at times. The writing was really heavy handed, and the pacing was slow.
Overall, a very interesting premise. Its going to be a long wait for the next book of the series.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book was NOTHING I was expecting. It reads a retelling of an epic Nordic saga, and yet its a work of original fiction. I honestly found myself enamored with it by the end.
