I really enjoyed this book and I love Gronichec's writing but it didn't grab me as much as the Witch's Heart. I couldn't help comparing the two unfortunately. But still a wonderful story and telling.

As someone who loved The Witch's Heart, I had high hopes for this. It unfortunately doesn't come close to how much I loved the author's previous work, but I still really enjoyed it. Love that one character is explicitly demi-sexual with stating how they can't do intimacy without really knowing someone first (love the ace/aro rep) and one character is trans. Overall loved the story and the little twists/reveals. The main characters are good as well even though they frustrated me at times throughout. Many of the minor characters were great though.
I will say there are a lot of slow spots for me and I didn't have the same intense emotions reading it as the authors previous book, and those are big reasons it wasn't a 5star read like The Witch's Heart for me. I will still totally look forward to any books or work this author does in the future!
Check trigger/content warnings although nothing was super graphic stuff was still detailed and mentioned.

Come for the Vikings, stay for the romance tropes, magic system, & really incisive explorations of what it means to be parented, to be a sister, and to become who you are meant to be.
