we made people uneasy, for we were women with weapons. men would not do our sad, dark work.

hello powerful, morally gray women. 

hello boewulf retelling.

and that open ending, bittersweet ending? loved it.

This was an interesting book. I loved the premise of it, four young girls, warriors really, making their way in the world.
This book is rich in characters, from the four girls, to Trigve, to Sasha and Roth.
But I felt it was lacking something, a bit of punch, something to spice it up.
For me, I would've liked a bit more romance, just to give the book a bit of depth. I also felt the battle scenes were over too quickly and a little bit anti climatic.
Still, the cast of characters is great and the book is enjoyable for this reason alone. Give this book a try, I think it's worth your time.

This makes me want to read Beowulf all over again. I loved Frey but I have to say Juniper was my favorite. The author has me wanting more for the characters. I think this would have make a great movie or even a TV series. Even though this book reminded me of Beowulf it had it's own feel to the story. This would also be a good book for people just stepping into fantasy. This book is in the top five books I have read this year.
