I’ve read this in Icelandic, and this translation is really great. The bleakness shines through even stronger in English. Give yourself some time and tear through this in one sitting, late at night. It will stay with you after. |

| A fantastically dark narrative with moments beautiful and terrifying in equal measure. I loved stepping back into the world of The Blacktongue Thief and getting to know Galva better. I can't wait for more! ...more | |
“So you have found yourself on the very edge of the Commonwealth, away from familiar sights and comforting languages, stranded on a sorcerous island and surrounded by unwelcoming faces speaking a savage tongue that seems to have avoided the passing of time and ignored progress.”

“Some of the words of power were like nothing he'd seen before, although he understood enough to recognize that he stood on the deranged precipice of galdur and pure insanity.”

“Only the most vile users of svartigaldur in Hrímland would dare to cast this galdur, as more often than not the ritual failed in a catastrophic manner. No matter who was on the receiving end of a níðstöng's power, the result would be complete disaster, without exception.”
