One of the most anticipated books of the year for me, I was dying to get my hands on it and better yet it was a gift from the Brother.
I love the world in this series. The viking type culture, the death and bloodshed, the F*ck off huge beasts and gods. All of it. Gimme. I'll eat it up.
I wanted to read the physical for this book but as I had so little time I couldn't resist getting the audio. And I'm glad I did.
Plot threads are starting to come together, the stakes have been raised.
Varg has come a long way since Shadow of the Gods. he's grown on me as a character, and how he values his friendships now. He's such a little gem.
Elvar... I'm worried about where she is going to go. She stepped up in this book as well, and took charge of herself. Following her and the battlegrim is a tale of its own. Add a God to the mix and it gets better. Her character is complex enough to show that people can be good and still have their faults.
Now Orka. Orka Orka ORKA. SHE IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE. I'm on the edge of my seat reading about her. Hunting after her son is such a heart wrenching tale and left me crying at work.
Gwynne is very good a endings not so much at middles. It lacked a little spark for me but the characters and me knowledge that the ending was going to be EPIC pulled me through.
