Skraelings (English): Clashes in the Old Arctic by Sean Qitsualik-Tinsley, Rachel Qitsualik-Tinsley
4.0
Taking a look at the Inuit, Tuniit, and Vikings who lived in the Arctic a thousand years ago, this book is a wonderful historical fiction. I've been reading many books published by Inhabit Media, and this one lives up to the high expectations that the previous books have set for me. This is also not the first book I have read from Rachel and Sean Qitsualik-Tinsley, and this is as good as books I have previously read from them.
The characters are interesting, the setting is interesting, the story is interesting. The way the authors choose to tell the story as though they are in front of you, narrating a history aloud, works really well here. I have never read any story with a setting like this, but it works so well that I can't help but wonder why not.
Definitely recommended for adults and children alike. Any fans of historical fiction or even fantasy are sure to enjoy themselves. The cover of this book labels it as "book one" and I certainly hope there is more to read of it in the future.
