There is an author of historical romance named Melanie Ann Thurlow whose work I have been following for some time on Twitter. In December, she was working on a project called "Deck the Shelves," in which she was picking up interesting books to be read and reviewed in the coming year. I was quite pleased and honored when she decided to read and review Tales from Midhgardhur, Volume I. I always look forward to receiving feedback from writers I respect and enjoy. She recently finished reading it and posted her review on Amazon:
"In this book you can expect to find dragons, sorcery, and so much more in worlds Brodd makes easy for the reader to imagine. Not only is the book written well, the stories—though short—are complex, and could easily be expanded to fill an entire novel each.
Each of the ten stories in this book stands on its own. So, if you haven’t read The Saga of Asa Oathkeeper by this author, you can still enjoy this book.
Whether it is Gylla coming back from the dead as the dark Valkyrie, Arngrimur fighting off undead beings with a sword that has a lust more intent on killing the living, or teleportation in the search for Ingjaldur’s crown, this collection of short stories will keep you entertained and mystified by the imagination of their creator.
Every story (within the story) is interesting and engaging. A few of the stories seemed to jump around a little, but overall it is a dark book that is a good, quick read."
