WE ARE FAMILY!

This book was great! I absolutely enjoyed the Vikings aspect and thought it was a truly unique approach.

There was a big focus on family and blood above all. It was different then the usual way of focusing on solely the love aspect of it. BUT NOT TO PUT THAT DOWN because "SWOON". I love Fiske.

I love that it wasn't love at first sight, there was a bitter angst that was so deeply rooted it took a bit for Eelyn's heart to warm up. This allowed a progression in the book for both characters.

Eeyln really comes to know who she is. She loses herself and finds that fire within to gain it back before the final battle descends. Thanks to her family, and her new-found family they're able to reach peace.

Also, that cover is GORGEOUS.

Thank you so much to the publisher for sending me a digital ARC!
