review 1: Really interesting story, I loved the references and utilization of Norse mythology. It was a clever way to present the vast transition in Britain from the Old religion to the Christian religion. The jumps in time were sometimes a little off putting, going from newly born child to a 7 year old was disconcerting. However, I understand the need to display that the transition between religions and mind sets did not simply occur over a few weeks. Overall, an interesting and fact based read. I feel educated!
review 2: This is a really exciting and immediate read. It tells the tale of how Edwin, the exiled King of Northumbia wins back his kingdom. The battles are brutal yet completely enthralling. I was rooting for Edwin from beginning to end. Albert has breathed lif... moree into this undeservedly forgotten King, this is partly because we are party to his inner thoughts as well as his outer actions and they ring true. Edwin: a warrior, wise and just yet also troubled when the promises of his gods fail to satisfy. less
