Winternights Gambit starts out a few years after the ending of Shield Maiden: Under the Dark Moon and follows Erive (Hervor the second) as she comes home once again. It teases of answers to questions the characters (and I) have regarding Blomma, Ervie, life, history, lineage and so much more.
I really love the world this author has created and the vivid details she intertwines within the pages. Time stands still for me, and I become a part of these stories as I read them. In fact, I could feel the cold, the questioning, and the presence of the characters in this novella. This is a wonderful teaser for what is to come.
This novella can be read as a standalone, with no need to read Shield Maiden series first. However, I am ALWAYS going to recommend reading it because it is a brilliant adventure, I don't want anyone to miss. That said, choose your path or allow the Gods to do it for you. *Wink, wink*
*For those who read the first series (Shield Maiden) this short teaser of a novella is a nice balm for the aftermath of that ending (I don't know about you, but I still have lots of feelings, LOL). I really enjoyed seeing my favorite characters from the first series and knowing that they are well and happy and living life.
Now, while we wait for the next story, I highly suggest any other book from this author to fill the time.
