Well that was epic! I need to get my hands on the sequel already because I'm not ready to leave this Norse-inspired world of monsters and vengeance. We follow three POVs, Orka who is desperate to find her kidnapped son, Elvar, a warrior who has rejected noble life to pursue glory and is headed to the final resting place (battle ground) of the gods, and Varg, a former thrall determined to avenge his sister who falls in with a band of ruffians. While Orka's POV was my favorite, all were riveting and full of action. Also, I love the phrase "thought cage."
