The Valkyrie’s Shadow (Sigrid and The Valkyries, 2)

Thank you Netgalley & Entangled Teen for an advance copy of this book, all opinions are my own.
Despite this book having a slow start, it was a solid sequel to The Valkyrie's Daughter! There was some good action in the back half that made up for that, and the mystery just keeps on growing. Now I am upset that I have to wait for book three, because I would binge this series if I could.
I did with that we learned the deal behind the shadow arrows in this one - it was really being set up like it would be the main mystery of the series. And Helena was always in the background being dangled there, I thought for sure she would be coming back this book too. Who knows, maybe she will reappear in book three?
Anyway, there are a lot of questions that the next book could answer, and I look forward to reading it whenever it gets announced.
Sigrid really goes through it in this book, especially as she is still learning to deal with Slipnir. The author does a fantastic job of showing the differences in Sigrid before and after the influences of the horse, and I look forward to seeing that relationship develop more in the sequel. Same thing with Miriam - they hit some bumps in this story, but I have hopes they will come out stronger for it in the end.
So, yeah, this series is still worth the read. I absolutely loved book one, I think this is a solid sequel, and I look forward to the next installment (maybe the last? Who knows.).
Content warnings: war themes, violence, toxic relationships, gaslighting, blood, death
