The Stone of Sorrow (Runecaster, 1) by Brooke Carter

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.

I would like to thank LibraryThing's Early Reviewers program for giving me a copy of this book, because I was blown away. I loved the setting and the mythology and the entire journey. I would love to see the Valkyrie expanded on more and to learn more about the spellcasting, but the whole thing was really well done. The Icelandic setting was a refreshing change and I look forward to the next book!

The Stone of Sorrow (Runecaster, 1) by Brooke Carter

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.

I really think this book was mislabeled. It would have been Middle Grade. I read a lot of YA but I tend to stay away from Middle Grade because I find it too juvenile. This one was no different. Just not for me.
