isabellarobinson7 's review for:
God of Vengeance: The Rise of Sigurd 1
by Giles Kristian
Rating: 3 stars
I'm confused as to the cussing. It's set in 785 A.D. so the f word etc. would not be used, right? I get maybe it's because the author wanted the force of modern curse words and old Norse ones not have same power nowadays obviously, but it was still jarring. Kind of because of this is the tonal problems. One page there's lots of bloody deaths, pretty explicitly describe, and the next there's heaps of jokes with a bunch of f-bombs and my mind was kind of like ?? Anyway, it was a pretty good book, but I'm not sure if I want to continue; I'll see. To be honest, it was kind of forgettable so it may be completely wiped from my mind by next month. Oops.
