Ze dook in de Edda's en Sagas om oude verhalen tot leven te brengen met een unieke literaire flair. Haar werken kenmerken zich door een toegankelijke, maar toch beeldende stijl, waardoor mythen en legenden resoneren bij moderne lezers. Guerbers benadering blies de historische vertelkunst nieuw leven in met een rijke vertelstof.
