The Valkyrie by Kate Heartfield has been my latest read.

With so much happening in my personal life I haven’t had the brain power to read as avidly as I would have loved to. But when I did sit down with this book I really loved it. It was beautiful.

I loved the voice to it. It did really feel like friends talking.

I didn’t go into it knowing much about the book. I will be honest, I saw this in the local bookshop, skimmed page one and thought meh why not? Turns out it was a great choice. It was a lovely story and gave new tones to Norse mythology that I wasn’t aware of. It felt like a lot of time and research went into this story and it really does benefit from it.

I recommend the book and will be sending it on to someone who I think will like and appreciate it. It was really lovely to read and there are some beautiful, and some truly frustrating moments.

I can’t recommend this enough if you want a different, lesser known aspect to Norse mythology to read.
