It's about clan drama in Nordic setting. It takes a while for the plot to start though. I kinda liked POVs from random strangers though. 🤔 Thanks for character list with all the titles in the beginning.
I don't know history much. But in the world of this book women are mistreated and nobody does anything about that. Which felt like lost opportunity to me cause I love swordswomen.
The main storyline was fine I don't have much to say about it really. Nothing memorable. To me ot felt like a bunch of old people discussing their glory days which I found hilarious.
I have no idea how to deal with ableist characters. I barely know how to deal with it irl tbh. I don't know Guy Gavriel Kay views on the matter. Only role Evorr was ALLOWED TO HAVE was the villain (because of the way he looks). Yeah he's a bad person but that doesn't justify people thinking that his condition was punishment for something and therefore he deserved it. He gave up on trying to make friends because people treat him like sh*t no matter what. Why bother?
I loved Anrid story. She's such a strong woman. And kind too.
