This was such a great end to the trilogy. Sigrid is continuing her search to unite the nine realms and face Loki in order to establish peace once again. But of course, Loki is...well, Loki, and pure chaos ensues. Dealing with the mischief of the trickster god himself doesn't prove simple at all for Sigrid and her people.

Of course, uniting people against Loki isn't simple, either. But Sigrid has people in her corner and is able to find allies in unlikely places. This one was fast paced and had a lot of closure to cover for our characters.

ARC review 💙 The Valkyrie's legacy by Tiana Warner💙

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4.5/5)

Publication date: 27th of January 2025

The novel The Valkyrie's legacy is the third book in the series, which combines a captivating blend of magic, romance, and self-discovery.

The story continues to follow Sigrid, who must navigate the complex world of gods, monsters, and destiny. Warner does a fantastic job of weaving together rich world building with relatable character struggles, creating a world that's as enchanting as it is dangerous.
One of the standout elements of the book is the strong character development of the protagonist as the series progresses. Sigrid is both relatable and strong, with an inner conflict that drives the plot forward and keeps readers invested.

While I thoroughly enjoyed how this novel was written, I found the pacing in some parts a bit slow as with most books. However, it does pick right back up. Despite this, the story is engaging and filled with twists that will keep you hooked until the last page.

I recommend this book 1000% as it's such a unique and interesting story that will keep you on the edge of your seat!

Wow! I absolutely loved this trilogy. Amazing characters and wonderful plot. Very beautifully written and easy to read.

This is the most dangerous and very hard mission that Sigrid had to take. It feels nearly impossible, but she’s determined as always. I was very pleased with this trilogy. I couldn’t put it down.

Overall I loved this trilogy very much. If you’re looking for a FF, YA, sapphic fantasy then you’re going to love it.

A nice end to a very enjoyable series! I liked the growth of Sigrid over the course of the series, the development of her relationship with Mariam, and the bonds of friendship that she shared with many of the characters in the books. Loki is wreaking havoc throughout the kingdoms of their world and Sigrid bands together with many to try and defeat him. Good action and adventure! Sigrid learns to accept the responsibilities of being a royal and grows into a responsible leader.
All in all, a great book and series! Happy reading!

I have enjoyed this series so much, and this felt like such a perfect ending. It starts off right where the previous novel left off, keeping the story moving. Sigrid is back to working toward setting the chaos that has broken out between the worlds. This time she must assemble a group that has one person from each of the nine realms to show the realms have united against Loki. I really enjoyed seeing Sigrid’s old friends again, and the new friends that she picked up along the way in this story were just as likeable and compelling as the ones that we’ve known for the past 2 books. I think the way the story wrapped up was a great way to bring all the threads of the story together without leaving any lingering questions. The series was such a great read, I’ve always been a huge fan of Norse mythology and I think this series really presented the mythology in a way that made it understandable for those who aren’t familiar with it, and wasn’t boring for those who were. I would absolutely read more books set in this world, it was such a cleverly crafted well-built world that really absorbed the reader.

I just finished The Valkyrie's Legacy by Tiana Warner, and it was absolutely captivating! This book is a thrilling continuation of the series, packed with action, emotion, and stunning world-building that pulled me in from the first page.

Tiana Warner knows how to create characters you root for, and their journeys are so gripping and full of heart. The stakes felt higher than ever, and every twist kept me on the edge of my seat. The themes of courage, loyalty, and self-discovery are woven beautifully into the story, making it more than just an epic fantasy—it’s an emotional experience.

If you’re a fan of stories with fierce heroines and breathtaking adventures, you need to pick this one up. I’m already counting down the days until the next book!

Norse fantasy: quest, battle, balance
The big finale of the trilogy starts in Sigrid‘s home Vanaheim where the ongoing war between the valkyries and the dark elves looks dire and bleak. The fights, the despair, the loss of life are devastating. The only light: Mariam‘s winged mare gives birth to a cute foal. The only hope: a quest to the Norns.
Sigrid, the heir of Odin‘s steed Sleipnir, leads once again her motley crew of outcasts on a dangerous journey from Hell to Fire and Ice. To do battle with Loki, the God of mischief, and his mighty army.
Tiana Warner again breathes life into this Norse fantasy setting: the world-building is superb, the battle descriptions are fierce and grim, the story is at times breathtaking, never a dull moment. I loved all those detailed descriptions of landscape, the different worlds, the people, the horses. The message is clear among all the mayhem and evil there is always hope, a choice for good and a place for love. What a grand finale!

I received an ARC via netgalley. The review is left voluntarily.

This was a decent ending to the series. But I don't remember the main character being this ridiculously stupid. Also, at this point, I really don't care about the romance.

This was so good! I could not put this down! The more I get into the story the better it got! I loved the story, the world building and meeting the different characters. I felt completely immersed in the story and couldn't stop reading it.

Despite being the third book in the series, it feels really well set-up for jumping in here. No recent reread required with a bit of Norse knowledge. The writing style and voice carry on from the first two books.

Thank you to NetGalley and EntangledTeen for the ARC.

this was a strong third entry in the Sigrid and The Valkyries series, it had that element that I was looking for and enjoyed from this type of book. The characters worked with the story being told and felt like they belonged in this world. I'm glad I got to read this and hope there is more from this world and from Tiana Warner.

Tiana Warner’s “The Valkyrie’s Legacy” is a stunning and triumphant continuation of her epic saga, filled with breathtaking action, intricate world-building, and deeply emotional storytelling. This installment solidifies Warner’s mastery of weaving Norse mythology into a tale that feels fresh, modern, and utterly captivating.

The pacing is expertly handled, delivering moments of high-stakes adventure alongside quieter, reflective scenes that allow readers to connect more deeply with the characters. Each twist and turn in the plot feels earned, building toward a satisfying and unforgettable climax.

The protagonist’s journey is the heart of this story, and Warner portrays her growth with nuance and authenticity. Her struggles with identity, loyalty, and destiny are relatable and compelling, making her a character readers will root for with all their hearts. The relationships in the book—whether forged in friendship, love, or rivalry—add layers of emotional depth and tension, enriching the story further.

The world-building is nothing short of phenomenal. Warner vividly brings to life a realm steeped in Norse mythology, with every detail—whether it’s the haunting beauty of Asgard, the fierce determination of the Valkyries, or the ominous pull of looming battles—adding richness and texture to the narrative.

“The Valkyrie’s Legacy” is a powerful tale of courage, sacrifice, and the enduring strength of the human (and Valkyrie) spirit. Tiana Warner has crafted a story that will stay with readers long after the final page, cementing her place as one of the most exciting voices in mythological fantasy. This is a must-read for fans of epic adventures, strong heroines, and beautifully crafted worlds. Highly recommended!

I am a huge fan of Norse mythology, so I can only salute the author's bold take through that trilogy. That last title is fast-paced and pulls no punches. The Valkyrie's Legacy is a unique type of retelling that puts women front and center. It's obviously aimed at a younger audience, but there's a real ambition in the writing and plotting. Worth a read!

Thank you NetGalley for the eARC. This book is a great conclusion to the series. Sigrid’s character development through the course of the trilogy is so well done. For fans of destiny, found family with a twist, and the true inner workings of relationships and how to navigate them both romantically as well as platonically. I think this is a triumph as a YA novel and conclusion to this compelling trilogy of destiny, Norse mythology, and overcoming prejudices in all forms. There are themes that feel repetitive across the trilogy but overall it’s a great story with a great storyline. If you are a fan of Norse mythology this books is for you.

I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley and am voluntarily posting a review. All opinions are my own.
The Sigrid and the Valkyries trilogy (previously called The Helheim Prophecy) comes to an epic finale with The Valkyrie’s Legacy. It’s great to see not just how the characters have grown, but how the overarching plot elements have paid off over the course of the trilogy. The way it pays homage to Norse mythology also continues to be a highlight, especially with the prominence of Loki in this installment in particular.
Sigrid’s character arc has always been a draw for me with this series, as she’s really come into her own as a warrior and sacrificed a lot to protect her homeland, while also trying to work to rectify the mistakes of the past generations and make peace with her country’s enemies.
The romance with Mariam has also been a consistent highlight. While not the central focus, especially this time around, the slow burning chemistry plus the stakes they’re up against make them easy to root for.
This is a solid conclusion to a great trilogy, and I’d recommend it to readers looking for YA fantasy that takes inspiration from Norse mythology.

Loved everything second of this book. I am sad it is the finally book I am going to miss Sigrid a ton. Will for sure doing a reread after its published. I highly recommend this series to everyone.

The final novel in a trilogy. Sigrid has to try to bring the nine worlds together in order to remake the Eye and defeat Loki. Romantic intense fantasy story. Well worth a read. Billed as a YA story but I'm not a YA and haven't been for a long time but I still enjoyed it.

I enjoyed the setting of the book. Unfortunately, I did not read the other books but definitely want to go back read the rest of the series. It was great to see strong female characters in the book.

The tension was delicious and again the world building was done beautifully. Everything was wrapped up nicely to conclude the series. I loved the action throughout the story and also watching the relationships continue to grow.
