Troll Hunter's Apprentice

by Eliza Chambers

A determined son of a woodsman leaves his village to hunt down the deadly trolls threatening to harm his family.

In the land of Jotunheim, no one ever survives outside the village gates after dark. Except for thirteen-year-old Dagmar Thorton who, with the help of an old knight and a strange girl named Leona, survives the night to tell about it. Dag is banished, accused of the old knight’s death. With no other place to go, his mother sends him in search of the troll hunter.

Not one to easily give up, Dag convinces the troll hunter to train him. When he discovers a giant troll threatens to destroy the village, he struggles to put aside old doubts and fears to save his family. But the task might be too big for a woodmen’s son alone, even with help from the troll hunter and Leona, the daylight hours are running short.

[Rukshy · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a great fantasy tale of trolls and troll hunters. Dagmar, is a young woodcutter who supports his family including his young brothers, mother and alcoholic father. Unfairly banished from the town, he sets out on a journey to become a troll hunter with the support of his mother and his travelling companion Leona. The story is unique and the characters have a depth too them. I really enjoyed the backstory to Dag, particularly as he uncovers secrets of his mother's family. 4/5 stars.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

A wonderful fantasy novel. The characters have a lot of depth to them and the plot is exciting. I especially like the way Eliza Chambers included the information about the different types of trolls that exist in the world she created.
