Amanda Hocking has created a rich, vibrant world based on Norse and other mythologies. Gods, Goddesses, the Valkyrie....it's all in this new young adult series! Book one, The Blade and the Heart is coming out January 2nd from St. Martin's Press! I loved this book....the world building is rich, the storyline is amazing! Another great book from Amanda Hocking!
I enjoyed Malin as a main character. She is very torn between duty and emotions. She has to deal with self doubt and the pull of relationship ties, as she tries to sift her way through secrets and dangers. For me, the story brought a new facet to the mythologies. I will definitely be reading more of this series as it comes out.
