Summary: Rushed, with a small set of 2 dimensional characters
Review: This story is told more like a myth than a traditional (Tolkienesque) fantasy story. This makes it fairly original but puts the reader at a distance from the characters. Events happen too fast (especially the ending), with not enough description. It's almost as if it's written in short story-like prose.It did have lots of magic, fighting, gods, magical creatures and the like but all of these were taken directly from legends, so in this sense the story was very unoriginal.

Summary: Has the spirit of old Scandinavian myths
Review: Well this book is just like old Vikind myth - with a lot of adventure, sorrow, magic and blood. A must read.
