My goodness. This series has some twists and turns. Some are a little predictable, but some will BLOW YOU AWAY.

This portion of the series follows Vhalla's journey after the war in the north. She's earned her freedom, but lost her best friend and her fiancé and all her hopes for the future. Now she has to learn exactly who Vhalla Yarl is and what she wants from life. She may be free, but she's not free to have the life she wanted. But, she is a lady now and that does come with some possibilities.

So as Vhalla explores who she is and who she hopes to become she finds herself swept up in a mess of sorcery. Those she thought she could trust aren't so worthy of that trust and those she was so weary of in the past might turn out to be true friends after all.

There's a lot that happens in this book and I would say it's the most emotional of them all so far. The character building is A++ and I feel like I could be friends with all of these characters. I look forward to the conclusion of the series.
