librarianryan 's review for:

Heathen, Vol. 1 by Natasha Alterici
4.0

This was not the story I expected. The God Odin has imprisoned Brynhid in Fire. She can only be released when a true mortal warrior can pass through the fire. Once free she is cursed to marry her hero. Only this time her hero is a woman. The woman Aydis was cast from her home. Her father faked her death for the sin of kissing another woman. She wants all women and men to be free to love and marry whomever they wish. A short read, and an interesting story. A new take on a familiar story. The artwork is amazing and different from what is normally seen in graphic novels. I will be reading volume 2.
