Berserker | Emmy Laybourne
6 posts | 7 read | 15 to read
Are Hanne's powers a gift from the old Norse gods, or a curse? Her brother Stieg swears their powers are a gift from the old gods, but Hanne Hemstad knows she is truly cursed. It's not Stiegs fault that their father is dead, their mother has left, and their brother Knut has been accused of a crime he didnt commit. No, the fault lies with Hanne and her inability to control her murderous giftshe is a Berserker. When someone she loves is threatened, she flies into a killing state. The siblings must leave Norway for the American frontier or risk being brought to justice. Aided by a young cowboy who agrees to be their guide, Hanne and her siblings use their powers to survive the perilous trail, where blizzards, wild animals, and vicious bounty hunters await. Will they be able to reach their uncle, the one man Hanne believes may be able to teach her how to control her drive to kill? With Berserker, Emmy Laybourne, the author of Monument 14, presents her vision of an American west studded with Viking glory.

☆☆☆☆
I love when someone takes a genre and tries something new with it. This author takes Nordic mythology and a good 'ole Western and created an intriguing adventure plot. And a female Berserker? Yes, please!

I had to share this here because you guys will understand ~ My dad was looking for something new to read because he's finally tired out from Nordic Noir (has read them all since it became so popular) and he likes Vikings (the show and in general - he's Norwegian) so I had this book out from the library and suggested it to him. He's liking it so far and thought maybe he should look into other YA books as a genre!

And I kind of nerd-sploded on him.

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage He asked about mystery books within YA and I have a whole list but he doesn't want much angst (but I mean they're teenagers so what do you expect?) And he wants more police protocol which is tough because teenagers aren't on the force... 6y
Booksblanketsandahotbeverage So then I just kept trying to offer him stuff like The Legend trilogy based on Les Mis and some young Sherlock based books and the Flavia series but I think I seriously scared him off 🤔😬😔 6y
Booksblanketsandahotbeverage Update: My dad's now reading the graphic novel of Legend 😁 6y
