Excellent saga. Read alongside Saga Thing podcast, which was both interesting and helpful to my understanding of the content and context of the saga.

Some of the founding sagas of Iceland and in part the basis for Wagner's Ring Cycle (or at least some of the Brunhild parts). Not only is the founding of Iceland described, but also the drama of kidnappings, jealousy, and freezing cold winters. While this saga doesn't directly take place too close to Reykjavik, the landscapes of the Icelandic countryside are 100% more exciting knowing how much drama there is imbedded in the history and literary tradition of the place.

This was an interesting look into a world I knew nothing about but it is not a story that flows like a modern novel. It was not possible for me to get caught up in the telling, hence the lower rating. A good read for anyone interested in the region and history.
