Hammerfall, Vol. 1: While the Serpent Sleeps by Boris Talijancic, Sylvain Runberg
3.0
ARC provided by NetGalley in return for an honest review:
The story follows that of a young Viking named Harald and his clan with the main protagonist being exiled "Bjorn the Beautiful.". The book definitely felt like it was only the beginnings of a long series; with world building and introduction to characters, however it held a high standard of interest throughout. Visually the illustrations were well done and gave a very 9th century Scandinavian feel..
Overall I would likely read the second installment as this left off on a cliff hanger, and I am interested to see where the story goes from here.
