ADVERTISEMENT {REVIEW}
I received this book as a review copy in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.
She's cursed with a dead witch's power over fate, he's a heartless demigod born for revenge and redemption. Once her enemy, now a conflict of interest. The fate of the Nine Realms dangles on a dangerously thin thread.
Fate was cruel enough by dealing Ailsa with a fatal illness. But when her father and sisters are killed at war, she becomes the Last Daughter in a long line of shieldmages. This power comes with a price, however, coincidentally getting her kidnapped by an elfin she’s only heard of through legends.
Vali's realm is dying, inflicted by the black magic, sedir, and the only way to heal his land is by delivering the Tether to Odin, king of the gods. When he finds this power bound inside a mortal woman, he is forced to bring her and her shapeshifting wolven back to his home in Alfheim.
But their journey across the Tree of Life is perilous, and betrayal is imminent. Vali and Ailsa must depend on each other for survival, a mutual dependency that turns into a passionate love affair. With Odin waiting on this promised power, a kindred spirit found in her enemy, and a dark threat neither Ailsa nor Vali intended to find in the bright lands of Alfheim, what started as a simple quest has turned into a fight to save all gods, mortals, and fae alike. Vikings meets magic in this fresh retelling of Norse Mythology.

The cover of The Last Daughter is quite dark but intriguing. I was very curious as to how it all ties in.
Wow. This book just hooked me from the very first pages. Ailsa is such a strong, sharp-tongued heroine. Absolutely loved how she has no fear in the face of death or gods.
One of my favourite quotes is “Asgard is going to eat you alive, girl.” “Then I’ll make sure it chokes.”
Love the banter that went on between Vali and Ailsa. The ending left me on the edge of my seat, and I cannot wait to read the next one in this series.
Definitely a must read!!!
The Norse mythology and how it all intertwined with the characters and story was done seamlessly. The ending has left me wanting more and I will definitely be reading the next one in this duology.
