There is SO much tension in this story, but it really keeps the reader engaged. The reader gets to watch as Eelyn struggles through her emotions and difficult situations, and enjoy watching her develop into the character we end up loving. There are definitely some difficult topics touched on, like the threat of sexual assault, violence, graphic violence, and lots of loss / grief.

⁕ The Viking world was so brutal, but totally believable. I was grateful that, despite being a YA read, Young didn’t shy away from the blood and gore.
⁕ I didn’t care for the major romantic relationship of the story, but the dynamics between Eelyn and her family members were so dramaful and juicy. Young did a great job building tension between Iri and Eelyn, especially.
⁕ Most of the book was super action-packed, but I felt that there was a slight lull after Eelyn got captured by the Riki. Some of the scenes depicting her doing chores for them felt repetitive and slow.
