Matthew Kirby's Icefall
It's back in the day when people worshipped Odin and the other Norse gods, and a king at war has sent his three children to a stronghold in the mountains for safety. Later, a group of his strongest warriors come to protect them, but bored warriors isolated in a mountain during winter can make for trouble. And it looks like a traitor is in their midst. Our protagonist, Solveig, the ignored middle child, has to try and keep everything together--while also training to be a skald, an awesome storyteller. Great characters here--Solveig is especially likable, as is the warrior chief--and I really couldn't wait to see what happened next. A/A-.
