Review:

This book has a bunch of interesting new concepts that I really enjoyed.  It seems to be loosely based on Norse style mythology, but it is not the Norse mythos.  That the gods might have children who carry their blood is a fundamental part of the story, and is also a cool way of identifying blood bonds.  This is sort of an epic adventure in a magical land with interaction with the gods.  It is pretty violent, but, for the most part, Gwynne does not spend a ton of time in blood and gore, although there are violent fight scenes.
