Vikings: Life and Legend by Gareth Williams et al Blood Feud is the tale of a British slave who wins his freedom by saving his Viking master’s life, becomes his blood brother and joins him on a quest for vengeance that takes them from Scandinavia to Byzantium.Ĩ. There’s a good English translation by WH Auden.Ĭhildren’s historical author par-excellence Rosemary Sutcliff wrote in many different eras and settings, but always with honesty, authenticity, a tight efficiency of language and an unforgiving toughness with her characters and her readers. Who could give a better insight into Viking thinking than the All-Father, old One-Eye, Odin himself? Havamal, also called the Word of the High One, gathers together sage advice from the Chief of the Gods to man on how to be a good guest, a safe traveller, and an effective lover, in the form of 165 poetic stanzas. Skafloc, a mortal child stolen by elves, and the berserk Valgard, the changeling left in his place, are drawn into the endless battle between elves and trolls, and the schemes of Odin, with tragic consequences. The Broken Sword is a short, savage, dark and strange fantasy that imitates the feel of Norse sagas. Published in the same year as the Fellowship of the Ring, 1954, American SF author Poul Anderson drew upon many of the same influences as Tolkien, but with very different results.

I may have to turn my attention to some of KJ Charles’ many other series, because I don’t know if I can wait to get the next one in my hands. I slammed through a lot of this book in quick succession, and the fact that the final book in the trilogy isn’t out yet has me in mourning. It feels like all of the aspects of the first installment were tightened, shined and enhanced and the end result is incredibly fun. I loved The Sugared Game, the second book in the trilogy.

However, he swiftly happened on the insight that the natures of even these basic categorizations of love are more complicated than they at first seemed: a child's need for parental comfort is a necessity, not a selfish indulgence, while conversely parental Gift-love in excessive form can be a perversion of its own. John's words "God is Love", Lewis initially thought to contrast "Need-love" (such as the love of a child for its mother) and "Gift-love" (epitomized by God's love for humanity), to the disparagement of the former. at the time for their frankness about sex.
