A good viking historical romp. Compares favorably with contemporary viking novels such as those of Giles Kristian. I made a list of my favorite Viking books - add yours! http://www.thehawaiiproject.com/list/Viking-Books--SLmG4mMqgm What attracted me to reading this series was the author is a journalist, is passionate about the time period, and the best part? He's a an active Viking reenactor. So we've got someone who can write and knows their history well. But just as one can be a journalist and be a terrific writer, it does not necessarily mean they can write fiction. Low is not one of those people, but this is not to say his story is without problems. The story meanders at times with no point, the character development isn't there, and the plot seems thin on the ground. BUT, it's intriguing. I love the historical aspect that is being presented, and there is a lot of promise to the series. So it's not great, but it's good and will keep you entertained. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

DISCOVER SOMETHING NEW WITH THIS LIMITED-TIME DISCOUNT ON BOOK ONE OF THE SERIES. The first in the Oathsworn series, charting the adventures of a band of Vikings on the chase for the secret hoard of Attila the Hun. In time with the magnificent British Museum Viking exhibition, comes the Oathsworn series, called 'enthralling' by fiction legend Bernard Cornwell, and known for its blockbuster battles and powerful suspense. Life is savage aboard a Viking raider. Young Orm Rurikson is plucked from the snows of Norway to join his estranged father on the Fjord Elk, and becomes a member of the notorious crew – the Oathsworn. Hired as relic-hunters by the merchant rulers, and sent in search of a legendary sword of untold value to the new religion – their mission is treacherous. With only a young girl as guide, their quest will lead them on to the deep waters of the 'whale road', toward the cursed treasure of Attila the Hun. And to a challenge that will test the very bond that holds them together. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
