Review: A Pretty Good, Short Story
Rating: 4 out of 5

A pretty good story, told in the form of a memoir of a slave called Tyrker (or "The Turk"). He is owned by a war-mongerer called Eirik the Red, and is in charge to teaching Eirik's two sons how to fight. Tyrker is in love with a woman and wishes to marry her, but that's forbidden for a thrall.Ms Ingle clearly knows the setting well, and obviously has a passion for vikings. It was a good story, with a fair amount of backstory and foreshadowing, but not too much that I thought I was missing anything. It's well written, and the pacing's pretty good. Can't wait to read the next one! :)
