Publisher's summary

For Líf, her ability to see each person’s guardian spirit had always been a double-edged sword. She hated drawing attention to herself, especially by those who thought her mad, and yearned for a quiet life. That is until another upended her world. This man brought with him the warning of an invisible plague that would destroy their race and claimed that he was the only person who could prevent it, for like Líf, he also had an unexplainable gift. The problem was that he was a slave. And he was not hers to free....

Set against the rich and brutal backdrop of Nordic myth, The Guardian’s Speaker, Volumes 1-4 are the first part of an adult novella series which serves as a dark odyssey through the nine realms that exist around Yggdrasil, the world tree. The people are as harsh and cold as the climate that has shaped them. Those who wish to survive must fight for that right or strive to die honorably in that attempt.

Fantastic story!

This book was phenomenal. Well edited, too, which is one of my hang ups. No overused phrases, the flor was good, the story flowed well.

I loved the detailed historical details of this series. Katharine Wibell should be very proud of her ability to weave culture into her story without bogging down the plot. I learned so much while also remaining emerald in this Norse inspired world.

My only hang up was the audiobook narrator was male, which felt strange for a female dominated story. It wasn’t enough to detract from the star rating, but a female narrator would have suited my vision of the story better.
