I couldn't have given this anything less than 5 stars. Superb. I feel about John Gwynne's stories the same way I used to feel about settling down to watch a blockbuster film on TV, G&T and snacks in hand cuddled up next to the missus on the couch. No matter how grim the contents I get a sense of enormous satisfaction. For me he is one masterful storyteller and I have never come away disappointed from reading one of his novels. This new saga is no exception - I cannot wait for the next one!

Excellent world building. A Norse based saga, violent and gripping.
