@hildur.bsky.social Just finished a book in which you're mentioned in the end credits! It started off with a mildly irritating protagonist (just talk to people, ask for help!) but soon galloped (tölted, even!) off into unputdownable gripping action! A very enjoyable read 🤩 #BookSky #Iceland #bókaský
