I received this book via the Goodreads giveaways, and was very excited, as I had previously read the synopsis and was interested in the book. Boy, was I disappointed. This is a young adult novel, but the writing style lends itself to a much, much younger age. The characters are shallow and one-dimensional and nearly indistinguishable from each other. Dialogue is stiff and unnatural and many of the conversations are unrealistic for the era this is supposed to take place in (Medieval Scandinavia). The protagonist is uninteresting, the antagonist (usually the one I cheer for) is uninteresting and the story is just boring. Aside from all that, the grammatical errors and editorial errors are unforgivable.
