This is a fast paced viking inspired story, that is action packed from start to finish.
If you enjoy stories with little dialogue, lots of inner monologue and even more action - then this will be perfect for you.
I wanted more from the characters, I felt that it read really well if it were to be adapted for screen. I didn't really feel anything for any of the characters. I think the first book was better with regards to character development and storyline. I found this one predictable and didn't contain as much to it as I wanted.
It is a quick and easy read and for those who are looking for books that have minimal romance in, this will be perfect for that as there is basically none. It's a lot of action and travelling.
