My husband found this for me at Value Village for this month's blue theme. I haven't read it yet.
I will be listing it with the Horror/Sci-Fi/fantasy VBB.

Very much not my genre but my husband purchased the book at Value Village and I decided to read it.
Dragons - meh
Lesbian relationship - not my thing
sword fighting - cool although I have never tried it
Norse mythology - yawn, although I was amused by the Valkyrie who wanted a kiss in order for our main character to borrow her magic winged horse. Are Valkyries always like this?
Metal working - liked this
Takes place in the Seattle area - this was fun, for example this line, "A mushroom cloud appeared over what I assumed was Redmond." Hmmm "What thinks you, mortal?" I think an epic battle is going to ensue.
epic battles - helps to have a magic sword that wants to fight dragons, magic runes on your forehead and leg, and a volatile personality.
I think it was probably a good book for people who like this genre, it has good imagery. My criticism is not indicative of a fault with the book, just my personal response to the story. My husband liked the book and was almost sure I would not.

Requested and sent.

Received in the mail today and I look forward to reading this as it is a new author for me.

Adding to the Science Fiction & Fantasy bookbox.

I pulled this book from the traveling sci-fi/fantasy book box. Looks like a good story with a strong female character!
