I have very warm recollections of reading (& re-reading) this book in paperback, so I'm delighted to have a chance now to revisit it digitally. This is a case of "If I weren't a fan of the author, and didn't KNOW that she writes fantasy I can get into..." After all, the plot seems rather far-fetched -- but she sells it! It has emotion, and adventure, and humor, and features two protagonists you care about and root for. A wounded and intellectual modern woman is thrust into helping a brilliant but embittered Norseman learn about the whole new world in which he finds himself; while they are growing closer, they must survive a greedy & murderous plot.
