”we are Bloodsworn, bound to one another. Stand or fall, we are sworn to each other. That is our strength”

I enjoyed this book so much! The characters, the Norse world, the stories. I've always been fascinated by the Vikings, though I don't know as much about them as I would wish.

And, as a Swedish person it was fascinating to see the words and names that I could trace to Norse languages (not that I'm an expert in any sense of the word), and trying to figure out why it's vaesen, but Sälla, Frøya but Störr.

I will definitely be reading more by John Gwynne.
