You don’t need to be a fan of Norse mythology to enjoy this book as it fits in nicely in the “grimdark” sub genre, I however do enjoy tales of vikings and gods and this pandered to my tastes well, I did think it meandered towards the end but that may have just been my adrenaline levels being high from the tension whilst reading the book, let’s have the next book in the series soon please

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for awarding me with this ARC for Northern Wrath. I will now give my own honest opinion.

I have always appreciated Viking culture and stories so when I saw this ARC I just had to request it. The world building in this book is fantastic! The author has created such a well described world with different POV's, the whole book breathes the Viking culture and I have learned a lot just by reading. The characters are also written very well, they are well-rounded and the book is much more interesting because of the different POV's while nearly all of their personal story lines add to the plot and build the story up.

However, while I love this book I do feel as if the story gets dragged on for way longer than it should be. I really had to push through to keep reading at times. I think some bits could've been left out or edited slightly. Some scenes are just too long or add very little to the plot. Going towards the end, I at first wasn't sure if I'd read a sequel but several story lines ended in a cliffhanger so I am very curious to find out where the author is going to take the story next. All in all, this book is very intriguing and a must-read for fantasy and especially Viking fans!
