review 1: This is coming of age in a fantastical land. A boy who doesn’t want what he is being bred for and a girl who doesn’t feel like she belongs. Karn doesn’t want to run a farm, but he loves his board game, Thrones and Bones. He is clever and admirable in his wanting only to do the right thing. His downfall is his naivety. Thianna is half-giant living amongst giants. Even though her father is the tallest of them all at 18 feet, she is only 7 feet. She is half the size of those around her, but she is incredibly quick and she thinks just as quickly. The only great fault for her can be found in how easy it is to insult her and her then take offence. Even though it is set in a fantasy world, they read as children who are simply trying to find their way. This book i... mores full of humor, heart, and action. Highly recommendable to those who are familiar with Dungeons and Dragons or new to high fantasy.
review 2: This was a great start to a series. The author clearly defines his characters' personalities and the world building is a great spin off of Norse mythology and culture. I appreciated the suspense through out the story, and the action scenes were very well written. I'm not sure where the series is going to go from here, as the plot seemed to be contained within one book, but I'll definitely pick up book 2! less
