Lindsay’s Reviews > A Flame in the North > Status Update

I'm enjoying this SO MUCH. Tolkien-esque (though many similarities I could name are spoilers for the first quarter of the book), but with female leads & female power respected. It is even overcoming the first-person narration. A young woman with rare magic goes on an unexpected journey north with her shieldmaiden. But hark! all is not as it seems!! Evocative and the most engaging thing I've started in a long while.
