REVIEW

The master storyteller like that master shipwright Ulfr, has crafted another dragon-ship of a tale. Tense, dramatic, heart-pumping action keeps you focused, keeps you trusting in the song of the volva; the threads of the Norns transport you to the time and place. But, let’s face it, any tale featuring a rather large albino berserker just has to be read for the sheer entertainment. Well done, Simon. 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
