Freya sat up so quickly that she nearly smashed Erik in the nose, but her husband was already moving off her, standing up, and pulling on his trousers.

A scream shattered the stillness of the night, echoing up the snowy slopes from the little cottage at the bottom of the valley. Freya sat up so quickly that she nearly smashed Erik in the nose, but her husband was already moving off her, standing up, and pulling on his trousers. As the young man dashed around the fire to fetch his spear, Freya grabbed her long leather coat and wrapped it around herself. She called up the hillside, Arfast!

A scream shattered the stillness of the night, echoing up the snowy slopes from the little cottage at the bottom of the valley. REAVER! Gudrun reached up and snatched Freya’s wrist, digging her filthy broken nails into the huntress’s smooth flesh. The bent little woman staggered up, pulling hard on Freya’s arm to keep her balance. Freya grabbed the woman’s hand, trying to help her stand while prying the sharp fingers from her skin.

Lewis, Joseph Robert. QuestionsWren lay awake in bed a long time, wrapped up tight in the blankets and squinting up at the gray daylight falling through her barred window. The cuts still looked like cuts, red and angry and torn. Nothing strange there. But the tiny hairs on the back of her hand looked darker. Or did they? She wasn’t sure. She couldn’t remember ever looking at them before. She sat up and felt a tiny wave of vertigo, and when she touched her forehead she found it slick with sweat

Freya swept her hand across the ground and caught up a jagged stone. As she circled the body, she saw her spear lean slowly to the left, and then lean back to the right.

Freya swept her hand across the ground and caught up a jagged stone. With a grimace, she lifted her stone above the beast’s head. A claw snapped out, wrapped around her ankle, and ripped her leg out from under her. Freya crashed to the earth, the air blasted from her lungs as her chest hit the ground. The beast lurched forward, dragging its stinking body over her legs, digging its claws into her calves and thighs.

Freya the Huntress (Europa A Dark Fantasy).

Admittedly, the only reason I started reading this is because I judged the book by its cover. There. I said it. Moving on, it was one of those that you could pick up for free and read on your kindle. That being said, were it not free I would have paid for the book itself. Since reading this, I have read the entire Europa Trilogy, Chimera #1, moved on to Halcyon #0, and am on #1 currently. Not the intended order to be sure, but hey - the stories are diverse enough to make it work.

I particularly enjoyed the fact that while I was expecting (and did receive) a fun fantasy story, I ended up immersed in a world that was much richer than anticipated. I like the fact that the author takes the risks he does in his story telling, and while there are some things I may miss from some parts of these books not present in others (characters, settings, etc etc)for various reasons, there are enough unique and interesting characters and places to keep me interested.

Now that Chimera #2 is out, I'm keenly interested in reading the rest of the Halcyon series to so I can move on to the final Chimera book and see how everything culminates.

I have really enjoyed this book as well as others in the same setting and am looking forward to other works by this author.

Until I read this book I had never read a work of dark fantasy. I've read quite a bit of urban fantasy and consider this to be very similar --- to a degree. Urban fantasy can sometimes be a little too predictable. Predictable because it takes place in, well... a predictable setting. But this dark fantasy stuff --- okay. I like this a lot better. The setting is much more exotic and way more unpredictable. Love that! So my point is, if your like me and enjoy urban fantasy, give dark fantasy a shot. I can almost guarantee you'll like it better.
But more specifically, this book: Absolute page turner. It was not predictable and the characters and story-line really worked for me. Definitely a blast to read. I look forward to reading this one again in the future and when my two little padawan book learners are old enough I'll be passing it on to them.

When Katja is bitten by a Fenrir, a beast reminiscent of a werewolf; her sister, Freya sets out on a journey to save her from becoming a beast herself. With the help of Erik, Freya's husband, they cross Ysland in search of the cure.
They run into Wren, a vala or healer, and Omar (from book 1), an immortal from another land. The 4 of them joined together to battle not only the Fenrir and his beasts, but the queen from the city where the plague seems to have originated.
I really like the story and characters. Mr. Lewis has a very captivating style of writing. I like that we got a more in depth look at Omar and can not wait to read Book #3.

I found the second book in the Europa series interesting and entertaining. It is a story from the distant past in a society that is facing many of the problems that we face in the modern world. The struggle for power and the greed that goes along with it are shown in the book as being the cause for the major conflicts going on in their little world. As the war against the "reavers" spreads to outlying areas the story brings together and interesting cast of characters who find themselves embroiled in a struggle not of their own making simply because they are searching for a cure.

I enjoyed the first of the series and look forward to the next volume to continue the story. Yes it is fantasy but it still can be related to what is going on in the world at this time. Very good job.

I have read a few novels by this author and must admit that of them all, this one was my favourite! The characters were absolutely fantastic and I couldn't help but love them. I enjoyed Wren's humourous rants to Woden, Erik's strength and love for his wife, Omar's quirky personality, and, most of all, Freya's brave and intelligent approach to the dilemmas she had to face. The plot kept me reading and I had to finish the book in one sitting. Definitely a must for fans of fantasy!
