Editorial Review:

Steeped in bloody battles and brooding Norse mythology, this epic saga follows the exploits of Viking adventurer Thorgils Leiffson. A fine, page-turning trio of tales that sweeps the reader back in time.

London, 1019: a few months have passed since Thorgils escaped the clutches of the Irish Church, only to find himself at the center of a capricious love affair with Aelfgifu—wife of Knut the Great, ruler of England, and one of the most powerful men of the Viking empire. As this passionate relationship between the two unlikely lovers begins to unfold, it forebodes uncontrollable consequences...When Thorgils is finally on the run again, he meets Grettir, an outlaw feared for his volatility, and the two become travel companions and sworn brothers. At the gates of Byzantium, Thorgils’ loyalty is put to the ultimate test...

Summary: Neat story
Comment: This is an interesting tale set in intriguing 11th century England. Thorgils love affair with Aelfgifu was written with subtlety and deftness, and all of the characters really came alive. Wish the author had given King Knut more dialogue, since his presence loomed throughout the novel, but it was a good read anyway!

Summary: Even Better than the First Book
Comment:
This is the second book in the thrilling Viking trilogy and although I enjoyed the first book very much, the author seems to have really got his teeth into the adventure now and I found that I read the book in no time at all.

The year is 1020 AD the place, London. It is a few weeks since Thorgils has escaped the clutches of the Irish Church, but he now finds himself driven even further into the mire when he find himself at the centre of a love affair with none other than Aelfgifu, wife of Knut the Great, not only ruler of England but one of the most powerful and feared men in the Viking empire. As the passionate relationship unfolds it augurs nothing but trouble for Thorgils.

With Thorgils finally on the run again he meets up with an outlaw, Grettir. The pair become traveling companions and sworn brothers which binds them together not only through life, but death also. At the gates of Byzantium Thorgils' loyalty is put to the ultimate test . . .

Summary: Viking Trilogy
Comment: Awsome! As I read book one and then book three (Sworn Brother has been deleted in the UK) it was was a joy to read the entire series - yes I re-read Odins' Child. Can I be a Viking please?

Summary: Viking Trilogy
Comment: This is the 2nd book of the Viking Trilogy and it was as fascinating as the first book. I would suggest that you read them in order. I am now ordering the 3rd book, The King's Man. Many of the words used to describe things are authentic and make you feel you are in that time and place. I highly recommend this if you are a history buff.
