![]() I dislike using these concepts in a way in which all of the characters are somewhat petty, make dumb mistakes, and have obvious tragic flaws. I like the concept of dragons and Odin and witches. I really do not like the way Pitts uses it. I really like the concept of utilizing Norse mythology in an urban fantasy setting. ![]() In the end, however, she’s the heroine that saves everyone and all is repaired in her relationships. She also gets fired from her two jobs (one as the apprentice blacksmith, two as the props manager for a movie group). ![]() Anyway, Sarah is a bit too wild and rambunctious and she mangles all the friendships that she has. How many blacksmiths does the author think exist? And of that number, how many, really, are female? Beauhall is also in a SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) guild called Black Briar. This was one of many things that irked me. ![]() She also works as an apprentice for another female blacksmith. She went to college for a degree in English (not unlike the author) and then somehow got involved in becoming a blacksmith. Sarah Beauhall is the daughter of really hyper-Christian parents. But also, she’s just not a character I want to read about. However, I did not like the main character at all. Also, the main character is a blacksmith, which is definitely unique. ![]() So I got this book on lark because I liked that it was going to include some Norse stuff. I have been trying to read up on genres that I usually paid no attention to such as urban fantasy, westerns, and so forth. This novel was published in 2010 and is the first novel by J. ![]()
