Firstly, just be aware that this is a very short novella (63 pages on Kindle). I was able to read it in about 30 minutes.

This is a story about a young Viking woman who goes on a journey after her village is raided. She meets a Celtic woman on her way, and they both find a place in a new village. It's a pretty simplistic story, and it reads more like a Norse Saga than it does a typical novel. While, this does give it a legend-like feeling, it does make a bit hard to connect with the characters.

The book being so short as well really condense the time of the story. It does feel like everything happens very quickly and with very little time passage.

If you are looking for a quick, refreshing read to get out of a slump, it's a nice option.
