While the narrative is engaging, it does lack emotion. For example, when a young man loses an arm, he acts no more bothered than if he’d lost a worn-out glove.
Also, you rarely feel what the characters feel during intense moments. They discuss what they’ll do, tell other people what they’ve done, and everyone praises Wulf to the high heavens, but rarely do we sense what anyone’s feeling.
The battle scenes are good in terms of description, though once again, we don’t get inside anyone’s head during a fight; we don’t see it from their perspective whilst it’s happening. They talk about afterwards, but this isn’t the same thing.
So, while it lacks the emotional side of things, this is nonetheless a decent account of a young warrior’s experiences in the build-up to the Battle of Hastings, of the battle itself, and of the aftermath. ( )
