"YA Fantasy; There was quite a bit of humor and lots of action and adventure- It was a light entertaining read."

" It was a good read based on Vikings' folklore/beliefs. I really liked it. "
— Travis, 6/12/2013" audiobook-meh. The adventure scenes don't come soon enough, too much exposition/character explanation. The language the characters use is an interesting mix of quaint Viking oaths and modern sayings. I was thinking this would be a good alternative for Percy Jackson fans, but it isn't. "
— Kathyred, 6/9/2013" Hmmm, this book was very accurate with Norse legends, but the writing style could be a bit more developed. "

— Stacey, 12/19/2011" I couldn't finish this book. It's just not that good. The sections seemed disjointed and the story doesn't flow that well. "
— Owen, 4/28/2011" My kids loved this book, but I found it quite predictable and uninteresting. If you are ten years old thid might be a fine story, if you are older I wouldn't bother reading it. "
— Dana, 1/5/2011" Teenage Viking warrior, Dane joins forces with his rival, Jarl the Fair, to retrieve the Shield of Odin, revenge his father's death and save his lady love, from the evil Thidrek. Lots of adventure! fun! Boys will enjoy. "
— B, 11/25/2010" Nothing spectacular, but fun to read. "
— Marie, 11/6/2010" Didn't finish this. I honestly wasn't enjoying this book anyway, so it's better for me to just end where I was instead of slogging through and actually finishing the book. "
