Days of Frozen Hearts

The Runeblade Saga continues...

Disclaimer first: I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I've been looking forward to this third instalment of the Runeblade Saga ever since I finished Days of Bloody Thrones, and Matt Larkin did not disappoint.

Overall, Days of Frozen Hearts didn't feel quite as dark as Bloody Thrones, and rather closer in “spirit” (ha!) to the first book in the series, Days of Endless Night.

Again, Hervor and Starkad get to travel to a land of legend - this time they venture into Jotunheim, home of Giants and vargar, where they have to battle ghosts and fire vaettir before they can claim their prize, Skofnung.

In a secondary story arc, an old friend/foe continues his quest for revenge, and (ab)uses Ecgtheow/Tiny - who really grew on me in Bloody Thrones - to start a war for his own ends.

Looking forward to the next book in the series!
