improdoc 's review for:

When We Were Vikings by Andrew David MacDonald

4.0

---

I found when we were Vikings to be a likable, accessible read. Not strictly a page turner, but not written to be one, instead a well-written, character-based, at times exciting, novel which I think did not only a good job of getting into the protagonist head, as a first-person narrative, but also demonstrated some excellent character arcs. That it was compared in its summary to the mystery the dog in the nighttime, is apt, though if you could only read one I would read the latter, which earned a firm five-stars... Nonetheless, this is a good book and a solid achievement.
