While Genevieve Gornichec's novel "The witch's heart" has been on my TBR for a while, reading "The weaver and the witch queen" has motivated me to read "The witch's heart" and perhaps her other titles this year.
This novel is gripping, fascinating, adventurous, and humorous. At one point, the action was so well described that I could see this being adapted for the screen.
I loved the characters, especially the inclusion of a trans character. I enjoyed how strong and independent the women were. I loved the snarky retorts and relationship between Gunnhild and Eirik. I loved the mythology and the historical setting. I enjoyed the ending's conclusion yet openness for more.
Although I haven't read or watched any Game of Thrones, I would still recommend this to anyone who likes the series and/or the Viking era.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read the ARC!
