Amy Harmon: The First Girl Child in The Chronicles of Saylok

Amazon Customer: This was a great book. It was just a teeny bit hard to keep the characters where they stood, but love won.

Gina Ann: Clan of the cave bear with a Viking twist, loved it! Looking forward to reading the second book in this series, if it makes me cry, or a lump in my throat its worth the read.

Karen B: What woman doesn’t love a story full of strong, smart, good, independent women? And some great yet humble men to admire them and work with them, and yes, some to fall in love with them.

The world-building is strong enough to let you lose yourself in its way of life. And the evil men who have far too much power to be good for the world, well, we find those in pretty much every world we can imagine.

While the good triumph, it is at a great cost, which is too much like the world we all live in. (Sigh…)

Another great book from Amy Harmon. Every genre she writes, she excels in. That’s a real gift.

Kindle Customer: Some books I can breeze through very quickly because the storylines and the turn of phrases are ones I've seen again and again. This book though, had me carefully read every word and appreciate the story.
Very well done worldbuilding and storytelling.

Selma: The First Girl Child by Amy Harmon is an epic and mesmerizing tale about love and loss, destiny and duty, sacrifice and redemption. It left me completely spellbound and in pure awe of this author's incredible and out of this world talent. This historical fantasy novel is a mythical and mystical masterpiece of contemporary literature and belongs on every reader's bookshelf. It is without a doubt my most favorite book of 2019! Amy Harmon always manages to paint vivid and vibrant pictures inside of my head with her lyric, poignant and captivating writing. I don't marely read her stories. No, I experience them with every single fiber of my being. I was captivated by this story from the first page and couldn't put it down until I've reached the end with tears in my eyes.

The First Girl Child is a masterfully crafted novel with excellent world building, an engaging plot, great dialogue and intriguing and well-developed characters. I love that Amy has mixed her wast knowledge about Norse mythology with her own ideas that arised from her creative imagination. I found the magical power and significance behind the runes very fascinating and how they could be used...

Sejla: How to put perfection into words? It's seems like an impossible task. But I will try my absolute best to do justice to the epic masterpiece The First Girl Child was. From the moment I saw the beautiful cover and read the intriguing blurb I was spell-bound. I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book and read it. After all, Amy Harmon is one of my most favorite authors ever. Her talent is out of this world! Whatever she writes turns into pure gold. Her ability to create unique worlds and characters is unmatched. I love all of her books, but especially her fantasy ones, because every time I read them I lose myself in her stories. She pays a lot of attention to detail, which makes it easy to see all these places and people clear in my head like they are real. This is how I felt while reading The First Girl Child. From the first until the last page this book was pure magic. I simply couldn't put it down. It was mind blowing, heartbreaking and absolutely beautiful. A story to remember for years, maybe even a lifetime.

It all started with a curse from the beautiful, betrayed and rarely loved Desdemona who died after giving birth to her son Bayr: "From this day...

"This is not a world where a man or woman gets much choice in their happiness. We are born into war and each day is a battle."

Why? Why do such good books have to end? Can't make books that never end? That's my reaction after this book.
In addition to this comment 😱!
This is not the first book I read of Amy Harmon. For me, she is my favorite writer in English literature. Dead to meet her. And tell her that. "I love you, thank you very much."
These are the words that are enough to say thank you for a perfect book! ❤️
Don't dig too far this time in descriptions. Because I have no words to describe my feeling. Because I haven't yet digested this book.
Comforting with this, that Amy said she was going to continue the next books on other characters that I was so curious about! 🤭🔥

Bayr was born with the powers and abilities not like the others children. His first hunt was at the age of 7. It is said that he is blessed with the blessing of God Odin, and his son Thor. His powers are destined for greatness.
His mother died at birth. And in her final moments before her soul...
