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.
