It's all new and exciting, and I know I will re-read her book again and again in the future. ![]() Like I said before, this is my first Virginia Heath's book so I wasn't familiar with her style or writing, and that's something I love when I find a new-to-me author and get to read their books for the first time.

![]() Don’t try to change her, but converse with her. Don’t try to keep her from expressing herself, her feelings, her beliefs. Don’t try to convince her that your perspective is absolute or your thought process and decisions are the only way. She does not agree with toeing a line and staying safe, or doing the ‘right’ thing or as she’s told because that’s what someone desires of her.ĭon’t try to control her. Not in the sense of reckless and dangerous, but in the way that she is not compelled to follow the rules or traditions of the world. But she also wants nothing more than to stay her own person and to be that person next to you-growing with you, changing with you, becoming whole on her own and whole in her relationship with you. ![]() She will love you, and she will let you in. Let her breathe her own air, battle her own demons, pursue her own passions, but be there, alongside her, doing the same. Let her feel safe in your arms, but not suffocated. She has the capacity to love so incredibly, but she never desires to be kept or held down or told to stay still. Her heart is not rooted to one specific place or person. She is most alive when she can explore, when she can feel the grass or dirt or sand beneath her feet, when she can talk with strangers, when she can recede into her own space and lose herself in the moment, when she is chasing what she believes in with passion and freedom. She finds strength in her independence and gathers confidence in being her curious, adventurous, driven self. ![]() ![]() ![]() NOTE: There is more than one author with this name on Goodreads.

I for one want to read the second one once it comes out :) That being said, I really do think that this is a great start to what is to become a series of books about Norse mythology. At times, I felt like the author was embracing too much and trying to include more than was necessary, and that decrease my enjoyment of this novel. However, the aforementioned great set of characters is what made things a bit confusing to me towards the middle, because each character comes with their own storyline, and the multiple storylines made for a great web of destinies that entertwined a lot. It was lovely to read about my own home country and recognize different settings and ways of living. I loved the beginning of the book which was very typical Danish. It mingles the ordinary world of a high school student with a world of fantasy, Norse mythology and magical creatures, and it comes with a great cast of characters and storylines. ![]() "The Whisper of the Ravens" is a good, action-filled story which was surprising to me in many ways.
