Five in the name Nordic kings, gods, mythological, full of runes, mystic, lyrical, powerful, ghost-ly stars!Amy Harmon is one of the talented writers always knows how to take you journeys at different time zones from Irish Revolution to the middle of World War second and some unknown mystical kingdom doors. She plays the words like instruments and creates amazing, soul-brushing, heart-healing compositions, that you wanna read over and over again to feel joyful and delighted ! That’s how I felt a...
5 surprised stars “We are abused. We are used. We are bartered and abandoned. But rarely are we loved. So be it. From this day forward, there will be no daughters in Saylok for any of you to love.” “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned” as Ari https://readingunderstreetlamps.wordpress.com (my buddy reader said) this could be the motto of this book!The first thing that astonished me in this book is a totally different writing style from what I have read from Amy so far....
5 Fantastical StarsMy first Amy Harmon book and boy did she captivate me. I’m not much of a fantasy reader but this one hooked me. I felt as if I was in the land of Saylor along with all the characters. I was able to visualize and feel due to the extraordinary words of the writer. Bayr and Alba..... There is no Alba without Bayr and No Bayr without Alba. Plain and Simple is the beauty of the story. It is destiny fueled by a curse of a dying mother. But this tale is also so much more. This story
"In the beginning, they’d rejoiced. Sons were always preferable. Sons were the lifeblood. The protectors. The warriors. The farmers. How foolish they’d all been." I don't really have to proper words to describe just how well-crafted and ingenious The First Girl Child was. So, this review is going to be a shell of what it potentially could be, simply because Amy Harmon completely stole my words away and I'm jealous of those that may experience this for the first time._______________ The
This story fell flatter than Mariah Carey singing live. This is a historical fantasy featuring Norse mythology.I am NOT a historical fiction fan.I am rarely able to get into a fantasy.And mythology is a real snoozefest for me.But this is Amy Harmon.This book is her first foray into the fantasy genre.Five Star reviews dominate the ratings. And it's a Kindle Unlimited (as are all of her books).So, what hell, right? I'll give it a go.I still don't like historical fiction. Fantasy is still a meh gen...
I received this complimentary ARC from the publisher, courtesy of NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.This was…good. Just that. Good. I’ve read so many of Amy Harmon’s books before, and am frankly slightly disappointed. It didn’t have the spark that her other works have had in the past. This might be due to the unbearably slow pace, because of the story spanning twenty years. I really had to push myself to finish it, even though I liked it. It just wasn’t holding my interest long enough
I can't believe I've never left a review for this book!!This book, man. I've read it five times AT LEAST. And then I gave it to my 13 year old son and he read it. Then we read it together and discussed it, three chapters at a time. IT'S SO SO SO EXCELLENT. So excellent. Things you should know:1. Yes, it's a romance. And your heart will hurt, and your chest will ache, and you will swoon.2. Yes, it's an epic adventure (and romance).3. You will not be able to put it down once you start, so ensure y...
4-4,5 STARSSuch a brilliant and unique story!I love whatever genre she writes, and I always go blind to her stories!I don't need a synopsis because I simply know it will be another fantastic read!The story line is interesting,original and captivating!Everything needed their time and their got it!This is a slow story in my opinion and this is what make me not give it 5 stars but still it was an unforgettable read! "I've come to believe that home is not a place. Home is inside of us. Home is the p...
Amazing book. Harmon at her best. I cried. I dreamed about this book last night and had to read it first thing in the morning. It is amazing. READ IT.
Hauntingly Excellent!A moving representation of how 2 wrongs don’t make a right and the power of love. The First Girl Child is a story that rocks you to your bones. The sheer words alone captivate with their power. They flow across the pages telling the story of a parent's love for their beloved child. The depths they endure to allow their child to have a better life is alluring. Along with the intense despair, a parent feels while watching a child make life choices and the consequences that...
