Currently reading this book. 30% (ish) of the way through. It’s based on the legend of Brynhildr and Sigurd (a Germanic saga). The prose is poetic and feels as though you (the reader) are eavesdropping on a conversation. Both of the protagonists throughout their narration are addressing it to each other. I’m very invested in learning how it is going to develop throughout and how those developments will change and add to the story it is based off. I am enjoying the way Kate Heartfield has approached these characters and the way in which she has provided historical context alongside the fantasy elements
