Having recently finished a Viking trilogy, I was greatly looking forward to a new series to replace it. Immediately upon starting the book, I knew it was not to be. I normally, do not write bad reviews, but in this case I was so disappointed I decided to review it. The Vikings were a hardy people and also very rough characters. The characters in this novel are the best behaved, cultured marauders in history. This is a 9th Century story told in 21st century script – not very believable.
The narration is pitiful, bordering on boring. I was hard pressed to finish the book
I was tempted to download the second installment at the same time I downloaded the first – glad I did not waste a credit.
