Njal's Saga by

5.0

Njal I found to be one of the most relatable characters of all the sagas I have read, level-headed and wise. Njal’s saga just oozes tragedy. Men get manipulated by their sadistic wives into a seemingly endless blood feud. Then the story of Mord lying to Skarphedrin leading to the death of Hoskuld Njalsson, and ultimately Njal and his sons, and the subsequent nearly lifelong blood feud between Kari and Flosi. It is a very tragic story. Those middle age Icelanders are great story-tellers.
