Synopsis

Paste Magazine Pick for Best New Fantasy Books of July 2022 From the time she was born, Sigrid has only ever been ordinary. Being paired at birth with a plain horse—instead of the powerful winged mare of a valkyrie—meant there would be no warrior path for her. No riding the skies, no glory among the nine worlds. Just the simple, unremarkable life of a stable hand. Everything changes when a terrible enemy ambushes Vanaheim and Sigrid sees a vision of herself atop a mythical stallion, leading the valkyries into a harrowing battle. Finally, she can grab her future with her own two hands and become the hero of her own story … if she dares. But her destiny is tied up with Mariam, a fallen valkyrie who’s allied herself with the very enemy Sigrid is trying to stop. Now Sigrid has left ordinary behind as she begins a journey with the beautiful—if treacherous—valkyrie, each step bringing her closer to answers … and to awakened feelings for Mariam. But the life Sigrid left behind is starting to look a lot like paradise … especially when her destiny lies in the one place no mortal should tread: the gates of Hel.

This story is a marriage of everything I love: warrior women, Norse mythology, horses, and a sapphic enemies-to-lovers romance. Enjoy the journey into the nine worlds! Official promo art for The Valkyrie's Daughter. Illustrated by April Pierce.......more

FUN, BUT NOT GREAT Actual rating: 2.5 ⭐ I might be biased, seeing as how I am Scandinavian and a fan of Norse mythology. If you're not that into the mythology, this might work better for you. But please don't make the mistake of thinking that this is about Norse mythology. It's just inspired by it. 👍......more

~ 2.5 ~ This book was difficult to rate. I enjoyed some aspects quite a bit, but as the novel progressed I had to force myself to finish it. What I liked: • Normalized sapphic relationships in YA fantasy (always a plus) • Hester (best boy, deserves 5 stars on his own🐴) • The way the author took Norse......more
