Thorfinn and the Witch's Curse by Jay Veloso BatistaMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
4.75 stars on this one.
I hate to admit but it took me quite awhile to get into this one. Around 100 pages or so as a matter of fact. I kept getting lost in the multitude of characters. However, had I noticed the family tree at the back of the book before I started reading, it would have helped me to keep things a little straighter.
I enjoyed learning about Thorfinn (Finn for short) and his family. They are in the midst of planning a wedding for Finn's sister when a dark being comes to their family homestead and attacks one of Finn's brothers. Finn starts to research and try to find this being and in the end, runs into a witch. We all know they generally aren't good for anything. When he gets tangles up with her, he finds himself in a whole new world of mystical beings.
Once I got the hang of the story, I found this to be a very enjoyable book! There is a lot of Norse and Viking history covered, of which I'm not super familiar with but I am learning! I'll be covering this series through book 3 here shortly!
