I am guessing it is Icelandic, but I couldn’t say for certain. I was planning on rereading The Shadow of the Gods before picking up this book, but that was not necessary due to a recap being included, so thank you, Orbit! ! So, did this book live up to the hype?įirstly, this series continuously integrates Norse-inspired elements such as lore, legends and using Norse languages, making this book feel like a real Norse epic fantasy! All the spells are spoken in a language that sounds very familiar to my mother tongue, Faroese. Moreover, the cover art for this series is incredibleīefore I start reviewing this book, I have to mention that this book includes a detailed “story so far” section, a glossary and a character list! I am so glad to see more books, including a recap in their sequels, because it can be incredibly challenging to remember all the different plotlines, character names etc.
