A nice start to a new series. This has good characters and an interesting plot. It's perfect for fans of fiction set in- wait for it- the 10th century.

The Unbroken Line of the Moon was a difficult book for me. While I enjoy this genre, this book was a bit extreme with the violence and the horrors were vividly portrayed in all their dark splendor. I'm torn because I loved the overall plot of this book and the characters were strong and bold but I wasn't so pleased with the delivery. With that said, I do understand that by telling the story it was realistically brutal in that the vikings were violent and at times extremely barbaric. Putting aside my own pers0nal taste, I believe the author definitely delivered the story they way it was meant to be told.
