Editorial Reviews

Review

“By far, my favorite book of 2019. Addictive, engrossing, completely unputdownable. Amy Harmon’s The First Girl Child needs to be at the top of everyone’s reading list.” —Penny Reid, New York Times bestselling author

The First Girl Child is a unique and lovely read set in a world that is both familiar and strange. Rich, fast-paced, and romantic, this book will thoroughly satisfy fantasy readers craving a story with meat on its bones. It’s going on my shelf next to Robin Hobb and Patricia McKillip.” —Jared Garrett, bestselling author of Lakhoni

“Utterly brilliant. A sprawling tale of love and magic, of leadership and the sacrifice that comes with it. I cannot recommend this book enough.” —bestselling author Staci Hart

Amy Harmon // The First Girl Child // Amy Harmon

"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 rises, she appeals to her brother Dagmar to take care about the child and raise him wisely. (Because the prophecy says no more girls will be born in the country).
Because this kid needs to be saved. And Dagmar takes him under his wing.

My details are so small. This is just the beginning of the story. There are other elements to read in the book to understand what this is about.
This is not a book of licks and love like YA. this is different. And that's why I connect with this writer. Because she knows how to convey it in a different, different way.

Dagmar brings Bayr to the guard tower.
Dagmar's name is there and fulfills his mission of being part of the State Guard. Dagmar's dream came true.

The whole world that Amy has built magic, dragons. The plot is so beautiful that brings us back to a period of magic and magic. Not on an exaggerated level. But, gently plot. A world that is all good, but also has the dark side.

When Dagmar realizes the abilities and prophecies that Bayer always spoke about. He is ready to lead him to the next level of his life.

"She has no color in her skin or her hair, my lord. She is white like the snow ... like a spirit. Even her eyes are pale."

Alba, a beautiful girl. Raised by the king and queen. A character so intriguing. We are going through a maturation process with her. She is a very good character. She’s very different from female characters I’ve read lately.

When Bayr finds himself in the palace after the rumor has been born of a new princess. He is intrigued. He sees her for the first time at the age of 7. And he feels that something is connected between them. The right to which it is intended. Keep it up. Keep her safe from evil enemies. And that is what he becomes after the king decides so.

In the country, in front of you is a king. Lies and profanity.
Wars, and evil on his part. I hated him so much.
I wanted to go in and tell them to kill him! 🤩

Bayr, and Alba spend most of their time together. He is her guardian. It was designed and born for her.
Every second and every second every moment of its development is there.

But what they don't know is. Both are the king's threat. Both of them the king wants to kill. Because in one second, they take it off the throne. Will they absorb it? Or will evil and scavenging take over the entire state? By a king who is all murder and blood.

"I've only ever wh-whised for one thing."
"Tell me."
"To be here. Near you. That's all."

Bayr and Alba’s story is so pure.
We get special elements about Norse mythology. In my book, there were two great love stories. Dagmar and Ghost (Ghost) are so named because of her snow white hair. And the story of Bayer and Elba's adventure.

In summary, such a beautiful story. Round figures.
The plot is so well written. Get more knowledge about the mythology. A book that just read it and blend in with any words that are worth magic. This is how I felt in every sentence of this book. magic.
An extraordinary love story. The book is written in a third person which, to me, terribly contributes to the plot because it is both historical and easier to understand the book and details.
Another Amy Harmon Moffat. For me, she did. And didn't let me down as a reader.

warmly recommended! ❤️
