Northern Torches, by Martin Todorov is my second book by this Todorov, so I wasn't surprised that by the end of the prologue I was completely hooked!! The wisdom offered by a father to his young son in the beginning of the book really touched my heart. I think this is the fastest I've read a book in a long time. Once I started I literally could not stop reading it!A small English village is bombarded by Vikings, ending in a crushing battle against all odds, as they were out numbered and untrained. Brothers, Rowan and Leofrick are among the few survivors taken prisoner by the Vikings. Shortly after arriving to the Viking kingdom, the brothers find out they are being used in a contest/battle of blood, to please the Viking God, Odin. Leofrick is a very ambitious, passionate character that leads his fellow 'brothers' through battle after battle.Author, Martin Todorov has a great way with words, and moving the story along quickly while still describing everything in great detail. It's very easy to follow along and really enjoy this action packed story! I highly recommend it!
