Here are some of my thoughts:Ĥ.5 Stars of AMAZINGNESS! I have felt like I've been on a drought from excellent epic high fantasy lately. And Elvar, a young member of the Battle Grim who’s constantly seeking battle fame in an effort to prove herself to her father. Varg, an escaped thrall trying to avenge his sister’s death. Orka, a fierce warrior who’s left that life behind to raise her family. The characters are complex, imperfect, and I love them. This series is a well rounded mix of a character and plot driven story. It’s a tale of vengeance, but ultimately about the things we do for love, power, or self preservation. There are two magic systems, but the world building is so well done, so it’s easy to understand. There is quite a bit of Icelandic included. It’s Viking and Norse-inspired with a lot of mythology. When I tell you this is one of the best adult fantasy series I’ve read in a long time, and you need to pick it up immediately…
