“I find the character development particularly compelling. The three teenagers come across as older, more serious and definitely more mature. First romantic feelings and jealousy create plenty of friction. Rune’s new perspective is brilliant too: her cool, aloof attitude towards Armin generates a huge amount of tension. There’s no easy reconciliation, which really benefits the story. The world-building, drawing on Norse mythology, is also completely convincing!” – Marie, StoryScan
