I loved this so much , the synopsis intrigued me so much and I was enthralled from the start. A Eva is a fabulous character, she isn’t the all strong and all knowing characters you often see, but this makes her so much more relatable and likeable. It’s a fast paced read, full of action and I found myself at the end far too soon. It unfortunately for me ends on a cliffhanger and I need the next book now. So I’m annoyed but in a good way ! It’s well written and seems well researched, as you really felt you could be back in the Viking era. An interesting and entertaining read, so much that I can’t wait for the next book

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

The story is very well written and from the start you are emerged in this cruel and barbaric world.
AEva is a sweet and shy young girl without knowledge about her true identity. She lives in a bad period of time and fights to survive. Her "luck" is that she meets three brave men who will help her. They get attached to each other but soon her "luck" changes again. This time she is noticed by a handsome man with cobalt blue eyes and her identity is revealed.
Although at first she thinks she likes him AEva soon discovers that her heart is with the three men that helped her.
But the approaching war gets near and along with it everything changes and she makes some choices that leads her to the ending.
AEva has to fight for her life, a little pathetic at this moment because she is weak and naive but I believe that in that final moments she realized that she must overcome her weaknesses and I sense (and hope) that there will be a next book and we will get to see another side of her as I am really excited to see what she will do next.

Received a copy from Netgalley.

Warning this ends in a cliff hanger which I sadly wasn't aware of so if like me you are expecting a complete story then this will slightly frustrate you. That being said it was very well written and certainly made me feel transported back to a time when Vikings arrived in England. The plucky heroine is very lucky in that she stumbles upon three soldiers who are inherently good men and they do their best to protect her from the darkness that creeps over the country. Yet Aeva suffers atrocities that are shocking and its a harsh sometimes sadistic world that she's catapulted into. There are lighter moments and Aeva is a likeable albeit naive heroine but overall the tone and certainly the ending ( which was abrupt) felt dark which reflects quite well the situation during that time.
This voluntary take is of a copy I requested from Netgalley and my thoughts and comments are honest and I believe fair
