review 1: I read this book because the third book in the Mongoliad cycle seemed to end a bit abruptly, with some of the story lines unfinished. I did not think this book was quite up to the caliber of The Mongoliad. I am glad the the storyline relating to the Shield Brethren was continued, but the final battle in this book was a bit of a let down. With all the hinting towards Norse mythology and the World Tree, I hoped that would be more relevant. The fighting in Russia also seemed a bit forced, like it didn't really fit in with the previous trilogy.
review 2: I went into this fourth book in the series with some trepidation since Stehpenson and Bear were not a part of it. but I was pleasantly surprised to find that I didn't really miss them all that much. The characters ... moreand plotlines had already been developed. The remaining authors are all good writers in their own ways. I found myself enjoying this book as much as the previous three. The plot lines that continue are all well developed. The pacing is excellent. Many of the story lines started in the previous volumes are completed. All in all, I enjoyed this volume every bit as much as the first three. less
