LeeAnn's Reviews > The Valkyrie’s Shadow

For those of us captivated by Norse Mythology, whether because of games like God of War or Valheim, or from Marvel's Thor, or the most recent appearance of Odin and Sleipnir in the Final Fantasy franchise, this book provides a delightful trip into the lore of the North.

This is book 2, but we jump right in, so no one should have trouble picking it up. Of course, some knowledge of the valkyries helps. 🖤

I adore Sigrid. She's the perfect main character - the underdog, the outcast who doesn't quite fit, but with so much strength and determination. Especially to win the woman she loves while struggling to become who she wants to be, not just what others expect. And she's quick and observant, which definitely helps. Even when it seems like the worlds are falling apart.

Ratatosk: "The path to a foe is crooked and rough, even if they live nigh. But the path to a friend is easy and straight, no matter where they reside."
Sigrid: Whatever he was on about, she had yet to find an easy or straight path to anything in life. And she wasn't about to start buying the valkyries gifts.
