This is not a sugar-coated story bad things happen. What I liked most about this, I think, is that Napoli wasn't afraid to explore the harsher realities of Melkorka's life and the times she lived in. It's such an interesting plot device, when done well. Not to mention, I seem to have a thing for silent characters. This made for interesting interactions, and made Melkorka's whole journey more intriguing. While being transported aboard their longboat, Melkorka refuses to speak coupled with other circumstances, her silence leads the leader of the slave traders to think she has powers, and he both reveres and fears her.
It follows Melkorka, an Irish princess who is kidnapped by slave traders.
Hush expands on a very small part of an Icelandic saga, filling it out and bringing it to life quite nicely. I'm not going to lie, I bought Hush on pure cover/title appeal (it was $3! Why not?).
