This seems more to be a more accurate representation of Viking life than we usually see.
The first third was a little hard for my get through, but we needed to connect and understand Halfdan to appreciate his character's growth.
I quite enjoyed this one.
Exciting enough to keep me reading, and apparently well-researched enough to convince me that I know something meaningful about the time and place in which it was set, this book was compelling enough that I want to continue the story of Halfdan in the next book.
