What would America have looked like if the Vikings who colonized North America had succeeded and remained? What if they had not quarreled with the previous inhabitants and abandoned their colony but befriended and learned from them instead? Now take this premise, give it a spin with the addition of assorted Talents that give their owners special abilities placed at the service of the community, throw in some elves and some persuasive world building, and the result is one of Frankie Robertson's Nuvinland series. There are only two books in the series so far, but I hope there are many more to come. I've been missing Marion Zimmer Bradly and hoping to see a new talent emerge to take her place. I think I have found the one I've been looking for.
