Focus Features will release The Northman in theaters on April 22, 2022, described as an action-filled epic that follows a young Viking prince on his quest to avenge his. Still, this is a rewarding read and I think readers who are fans of slow burn thrillers will find a lot to enjoy here. Up next from The Witch and The Lighthouse director Robert Eggers is a Viking revenge film titled The Northman, and the trailer has arrived today as an early Christmas gift. While I did enjoy this novel and found that the ending was entirely satisfying, and one of the best parts (even though there was a bit of a deus ex machina, in my opinion), I couldn't quite connect with the protagonists because of the jumping timelines. While I understood whose POV we remained in and what was happening, it made returning to other scenes with other characters in different timelines a little more challenging. While there were some fun and spooky surprises to enjoy and the clean prose made the story easy to follow, I found the constant time jumping to be a little disjointed. The plot is a little slower, as much of the focus remains on family drama.

Many of the characters had a lot of angst with them, which often lead to many emotionally heavy scenes. I empathized with Luna the most, finding her to have the best overall development. All of the characters are interesting and acted like real people, though I found it hard to connect with many of them. However, the family is torn apart by terrible and supernatural circumstances, which lead to one of the daughters discovering the bizarre truth of what happened to her mother and sisters.

The story primarily focuses on Liv as she moves to a lighthouse for a job with her three daughters, all of which she has a complicated relationship with. It's a little complicated, but the ending pays off. THE LIGHTHOUSE WITCHES is a combination of paranormal, the supernatural, and family told from different perspectives over the span of different times.
