Maddie is visiting Ireland with her parents for a Viking reenactment festival, but bored out of her wits, goes for a walk along the river. She sees an object buried half in the dirt and after wiping it clean realises it’s a time-travelling device. Landing back in the Viking ages, she immediately meets trouble, and her rescuer Geir takes her, unconscious, onboard his ship headed for Iceland. This time-slip adventure and romance is sure to keep you on your toes!
I really liked this book. At first I thought the genre was a little out of my comfort-zone, but I’m always eager to find something new that I’ll enjoy. Maddie and Geir made this book incredible. I’m not sure how I would fare if I ended up thousands of years in the past myself, but Maddie was incredible! I’m glad everyone in this book managed to find a way to get along, especially the thralls, oh and Lif, she was definitely in need of a good bum-kicking at several points throughout!
This book is very well written, and I assume researched, however I’m not a Vikings geek so I can’t confirm! If you’re looking for something a bit different, I definitely recommend this!
