This was a fast read, and not what I expected! The story is told from the POV of two MC’s who are very different from each other. Tova is a girl out of place in her world and Halvard is a young man forced into Leadership before he feels prepared. Both MCs are fierce and strong in their own ways, and both make hard choices for themselves and their people. I really enjoyed the magical mysticism of Tova! The Viking lore was so surreal. This was a beautiful book and I was so happy to be back in this world that Adrienne created. Sky in the Deep was amazing, and this book set in the same world was wonderful as well!
