3.0 out of 5 stars Probably for Viking fans only, August 23, 2001

This review is from: Road to Miklagard (Hardcover)
This is the second part of Treece's trilogy about the Norwegian Viking, Harald Sigurdson. It's set in about the year 800 and tells a fairly typical adventure for a Norwegian Viking of the period, sailing to Ireland in search of treasure. Later, however, the tale gets a bit more fantastic, when Harald is shipwrecked and ends up in Miklagard (Constantinople), the capital of the Byzantine Empire. He serves there are a guardsman. He could be seen as a forerunner of the famed Byzantine Guard.

Treece's language is very simple in these books; its probably intended more for children or adolescents then for adults. However, it provides a good character study for the grim, brave Vikings,and it provides a fair smattering of Viking myths, stories, and jokes. All in all I found this enjoyable (though not as good as Viking's Dawn), but I'm a Viking fanatic. Not everyone's idea of a good read.
