This review containers slight spoilers.This is an excellent book with excellent characters and plot development. Farah Cook has taken the Norse mythology and planted it in a future that we can all find ourselves a part of if we look in her books. It did take me a Chapter or two to get used to the view point being used. I'm not used to so much emotions in my main characters (but when you mainly read books like Dresden Files or Star Trek/Wars, it happens). However, once I got used to that I reallyA dazzle filed journey into fantasy in this book. Outstanding first in the series of the Shadowislands Saga. A must read. I loved it!
4.75/5This is a novel based on Norse Mythology, which is part of why I ultimately decided to give it a try. Most authors focus solely on Egyptian/Greek Mythology when they write stories like this. I was not disappointed in this novel.We follow Nora Hunt as she navigates her trials in the world of the Raiders. She has no idea who or what she is, but over time she finds out.There was so much I loved about this book. The characters were all interesting, and even though it occasionally felt like the
I really enjoyed this. It was a slightly new take on the Dystopian Genre. Nora is very self-aware which is different and she has a lot of caution, which is not something you see in a female main character often. I think people will really enjoy this book.

Delighted to have been offered a copy of this book. It was unputdownable. I had a dry spell for the last couple of months, unable to get interested in an books I picked up. However this book had me hooked from page one.I'm not that up on Norse mythology or vikings so found the book intriguing. The setting and world building was perfect. The characters were likeable and interesting. I wanted to know where the book was going, I wasn't able to predict the outcome. After the cliff hanger ending I
DisappointingThis is a book I would love to give 4 stars to, but I can't because of reasons I'll go into later. No real spoilers, just vague references. WHAT I LIKED:The story, characters, and world have so much potential. I was really intrigued from the beginning - it's a pretty unique (in my opinion) take on topics that other popular books touch on. It also successfully combines elements from several genres, which is difficult to do well. The training was cool to read about. Overall the plot,
This book, holy goodness was it a-m-a-z-i-n-g. This story had me on the edge of my seat from the start. It did not take long to finish since I flew through it. Farah wrote in a way that you just can't help but love this world and the characters. You sit there and you can really imagine yourself in this world. With that being said, the character and plot development was unreal. These characters were so interesting and nothing like I expected. The main character was so complex as well. She was one
