is always where the fog
swim on intuition,
on target.
is the fear and challenge
fight for themselves. of dreams.
even if you swim against the current. "
(with a dedication from the author)
After reading" I am Haldred "I had no doubt that I have read Viking saga from the beginning. Fascinated staroskandynawską epics, I wanted to know more of their world. When I received the eagerly awaited first volume of the "Northern Way" - "Saga Sigrun" extremely happy.
Comparing both parts of the saga can not help noticing that their heroines have met very different fates. When one dominates in sadness and disgust to the sacrifices, the other experiences of surfeit of goodness and happiness of family life. I think that the author intentionally merged friendship and interdependence as contrasting characters.
Sigrun, in contrast to Haldred, was lucky in love. Father chose her husband, the great jarl Regina, where she fell in love on each other at first sight. These two souls joined the unity and understanding. They read in their souls, like an open book. Enjoying the incredible love that often interfere with the time of wars, disease and death. The reward for their patience and dedication was a sense of security in the arms of a loved one.
wife Regina proved not only as a devoted concubine, but also exemplary mother and housewife. In addition to the two raised their children and descendants of Einar Haldred and son. After the problems with getting pregnant, it blessed all the tenderness and care. Fulfilling her mother's vocation entrusted to the care exercised Regin candidates for the warriors.
heroes of "Northern Way" are fictional, located in the realities of ancient Scandinavia in the years 945 - 1000 Historical background of the novel acquires a deeper dimension through an interesting form of presentation of distant times. Learning culture Viking means of a power struggle, as well as fear and distrust of Christianity. After all, the emergence of a new religion does not interfere with clarity of their minds. Saga heroes are not treatments for conversion, but it does not renounce those who turned them so well known to the gods on one foreign language. This is because, as they are open and tolerant. It is characterized not only their courage, but also wisdom. Elizabeth Cherezińska created a story about an exceptionally strong friendships. A loyalty that is proof that they do not have to be blood brother to become a family and shoulder to shoulder to defend the family.
cards are the "Northern Way" feel the unique atmosphere of the Nordic region. We provide the fairytale atmosphere mesmerize spells and runes, which are part of real life dating back centuries.
subtly dotted narrative makes erotic scenes are not vulgar. Marked rhythm, which was far from routine, his curious distinctness. Presentation of the embodiment of love does not recognize its magic.
a journey full of dangerous adventures, and the best return świętowanych honey.
looking forward to the next part - Saga Einar. I'm curious how the protagonist tells us about his experiences in these difficult years for him.
"Northern Way" I commend the men who read through this have a chance to repeal the hem of the female psyche and imagination. Get to know the thoughts of the fair sex and curiosity to see them as the male perception of reality.
