I enjoyed parts of this book, but I kind of felt like I was missing something. It felt like I didn’t know enough history or enough of the mythology to really know what was going on. I also found it hard to concentrate on it, I zoned out and had to go back a lot more than I usually do with audiobooks and often came back to it having forgotten what had happened in the last chapter.

I really liked Herla and Æffelburg’s characters and their relationship. I liked the wildness of Herla, the fact that she was untamed and kind of feral from being the leader of the hunt for so many years.

I liked the wildness of Herla, the fact that she was untamed and kind of feral from being the leader of the hunt for so many years. Æffelburg also had this untamed aspect of her, refusing to fall in line with the expectations that the men of her court had for her.

I was also really surprised and pleased by the asexuality representation.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Cross posted to thewhisperingofthepages.co.uk
