pickThis was a thoroughly engaging read based on Icelandic sagas. Gornichec gives us a historical fantasy that checks all the boxes: childhood friends growing up under a curse, check; witchcraft and shape shifting, check; power struggles, check; women seeking and finding non traditional roles, check; some men acting as oppressors and some as helpmates, check. My only criticism is that the author ties up the story in a trite bow. Sequel? Hope so.
About 9 chapters in and this book is amazing! It‘s such a gripping story, highlighting the indomitable spirit of these bad ass women! Cannot put it down…send help lol.
pickI kind of went back and forth in my opinion. There is a lot of action within the pages and Gornichec wrote these sections so well, but then there were large chunks of the story that seemed to drag. The characters are wonderfully written; it was easy to understand the relationship the girls had as children and what it became as they got older and as they faced their intertwined fates. The myth and magic pulled me in and the characters made me stay.
pickThe author called this historical fantasy. 3 girls with entwined destinies embark on an epic adventure to save one of them. Taken from Icelandic sagas, one may have been an actual person. I enjoyed this a whole lot but I also really liked her other book.
