Starting with the intriguing concept of a reimagining of Sigurd and Brynhild following lesbian protagonist Aydis as she and Brynhild fights against the oppressive patriarchal Viking clans. However, our two protagonists are quickly separated and go on separate journeys of self-discovery, weakening later revelations in the plot. And Alterici’s art style often portrays women in a voyeuristic and fan service way which only leans into the themes she is trying to tackle rather than dismantle them. — Full Review on thebackcatalogue.substack.com

This book is special because it was written and illustrated by someone that I used to work with, Natasha Alterici. A little darker than what I normally read. Enjoyed it for the female badassery.
Moderate: Sexual content
