Really enjoyed the feel of this. Samurai steam-punk at its best.

Dave Ames reviewed Northern Wrath by Thilde Kold Holdt
Enjoyable
I quite enjoyed this book's magic system and depictions of the ancient Norse gods and the other races within that mythology. The action sequences, especially the battle ones were intense. Occasionally there were slight issues with the language chosen, I'm not sure if this was a poor translation from Danish (which I think is the author's first language) or if they're there for effect.

Review of 'Revelation Space (Revelation Space, #1)' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Having read the previous novel and the novella, I quite enjoyed this one. It feels as though the Universe it is set in, is beginning to expand to bring in new species and systems as well as a new enemy. Hinting that this might also connect to the incidents in the first novel is a nice touch too. I'm looking forward to seeing where things go next.
If you enjoyed the first novel then this one's even better.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
