I loved this book! As a Tolkien fan, it is always a pleasure to dive into Middle-earth.. The content of this book is very much inspired by classic heroic stories and you can see the norse influence on almost every page! A must-read for every fantasy fan and especially every person that loves Tolkien's tales and world!
