Summary: A beautiful retelling of East of the Sun, west of the Moon that plunges us headlong into the world of Norwegian folklore and magic. She is the author of two highly acclaimed fantasy novels in the US, "Hero's Song" in the Songs of Eirren series, and "Fire Arrow", a Booklist Top Ten Fantasy Novel of the Year.Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH). the pace does pick up in the second half—but only fitfully does this achieve the intensity of feeling or vividness of setting that drives the best of the recent flurry of retold romances.

With Rose’s ordinary, practical life-skills – weaving, washing a shirt – being so crucial to the success of her quest, it’s important that the reader believes in it.
