This wasn't a bad story but it wasn't great either.  Considering that it opens at a child's funeral, I would expect that it would grab my heart strings and never let go.  It quickly faded.  I never sat on the edge of my chair in anticipation nor swiped at tears that blurred my vision.  When Tyr leaves his village, I don't believe that the author ever portrayed that sense of dire urgency that one would expect from a man leaving his family in the middle of a crisis.The plot was very clever but it lacked the intensity, desperation and excitement I would imagine with a life or death struggle and search of the unknown!  Even covered in blood, I felt I was curiously left in the dark and that I too just woke in the middle of the same bloody mess that Tyr did.Entertaining enough to keep reading but it isn't a magic gem.
