Synopsis:
Soldier… Sorcerer… Savior… Who is Vhalla Yarl?
Vhalla Yarl marches to war as property of the Solaris Empire. The Emperor counts on her to bring victory, the Senate counts on her death, and the only thing Vhalla can count on is the fight of her life. As she grapples with the ghosts of her past, new challenges in the present threaten to shatter the remnants of her fragile sanity. Will she maintain her humanity? Or will she truly become the Empire’s monster?
Review:
Vhalla is such an interesting character. One moment I want to grab her by the shoulders, shake her, and ask her what the hell she thinks she's doing, and the next I feel so bad for her and can relate to what she feels. and now things get emotional im not going to say what happens but WHY WHYW HWYWDBFF FOR THE LOVE OF THE MOTHER LAREL WHY MY BABY MY SWEET SWEET AMAZING GIRL WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. i am not okay. I LOVE YOU.
So many things happen in this book, and it is drama after drama. I really feel like all the characters were much more fleshed out for me, however, and I learned a lot about them. I understand more about their motivations and beliefs. I like where Prince Baldair is heading, and I'm really curious as to the details of him and his brother's past. I want to know how their relationship came to be what it is now. Aldrik is soooo broody. Seriously though. He's classic broody, im-not-good-enough-for-you, dramatic, but I find it a little funny. (Am i insensitive lol).
Aldrik's uncle has major balls. I like this guy.
Daniel and Craig are so nice. They are good, well written, and people that Vhalla can lean on. I don't know if you can tell, but she doesn't have very many of those. (NO, reeeeeeally?)
The Emperor- again classic all powerful ruler, who wants to achieve his own ends. More than a little evil-ish, but I enjoy it. I'm hoping that we learn more about him and his plans. *crosses my fingers for something interesting*
