Explanation Toward Books Snow-Walker (The Snow-Walker #1-3)
This trilogy brings together in one volume the three spell-binding titles in the Snow-walker sequence; The Snow-walker's Son, The Empty Hand, and The Soul Thieves. From the swirling mists and icy depths beyond the edge of the world came the snow-walker Gudrun, to rule the Jarl's people with fear and sorcery. But a small band of outlaws are prepared to risk their lives to defeat Gudrun and restore the land to its rightful leader. This trilogy follows them in their quest, from the first terrifying journey to meet the mysterious snow-walker's son, to the final battle in the lands beyond the rainbow bridge... The Snow-Walker's Son Since Gudrun came from the frozen mists beyond the edge of the world, the Jarl's people have obeyed her in hatred and terror. But the enchantress has one weakness: a son, Kari, banished to a forbidding fortress in the north, never seen by the Jarl's people. In secret they wonder: Are the rumours true? Was he born a monster? Now Jessa and her cousin Thorkil have been exiled to the north, and if they survive the journey, they will find the truth: Is Kari a beast? Or the means to stop the sorceress? The Empty Hand From frost and magic, the sorceress Gudrun conjures a rune beast and sends it from the land of the Snow-Walkers, southwards towards the stronghold of the new Jarl, Wulfgar. The approach of the beast spreads fear amongst the people. Jessa, Skapti the poet, and a slave named Hakon Empty Hand must help the Jarl confront this horror while around them, mistrust and conspiracy grow. In some hidden way, these dark events are linked with Gudrun's mysterious son, Kari, whose own talents as sorcerer are beginning to reach their terrifying potential. The Soul Thieves In the dramatic conclusion to the "Snow-Walker" trilogy, the sorceress Gudrun places an enchantment of frost and dreams upon the people of the Jarlshold and steals the soul of the Jarl's young bride. To reclaim the girl, Jessa and her friends must now begin a perilous quest to the land of Snow-Walkers, a place not shown on any map. They must journey beyond the edge of the world, beyond the rift into darkness, where the final battle between Gudrun and her son must take place.Rating Epithetical Books Snow-Walker (The Snow-Walker #1-3)

I read the first two books in this trilogy when I was a kid but never got my hands on the third. I'd always remembered how much I loved them, though, and so finally, at the age of 28, I bought the three-in-one trilogy and read the whole thing. So glad I did! This is absolutely one of those kids' books that reads well to an adult.I'd remembered the fantasy elements of the book but had forgotten the extent of the horror. There's some genuinely creepy stuff in here, and the author is so good atSo, I really love the idea of this story. Its unique. I love the setting, I love the mythology- I love the landscape and I love the characters. Well, who I imagine the characters are. The problem is this book was like a skeleton. Its a good thing I have a good imagination, because I did a lot of assuming as I read. The book was simplified and choppy. It could have been epic!! But it fell so short. There were images I loved- characters I cared about. I loved the strong female character in a story
Everyone needs a little Catherine Fisher in their reading agenda; the Snow-walker trilogy is a sophisticated yet fantastical adventure I cannot wait to go on again.
A really fun read! Its a Nordic-inspired fantasy series with main characters Jessa and Kari. Jessa is a really delightfully headstrong teenage girl with a personality that I personally enjoyed, and Kari is a kid with identical features and powers to his snow witch mother (who is taking over the lands Jarlshold) that also got locked in a dungeon cell for the first six years of his life by his mom.The first book is a little bit too plot-motivated and less character-motivated for my tastes, but Im
A beautifully and yet so simply written adventure. A wonderful blending of Norse mythology and fantasy and magic.
It was okay. Fast read. Interesting plot ideas, just kinda bland.
This was not the author's best effort in my view. I didn't connect with the characters much although I liked them. The traveling distances seemed unusually short which surprised but didn't dismay me. It seems common in adventure books that the heroes travel for weeks not days. The magic was not well defined and the description of the far north was all about ice and snow till suddenly it was about fire and heat.
