Nicki Markus's Reviews > The Saga of the Jómsvíkings

The Saga of the Jómsvíkings was a fun, quick read. I appreciated the introduction, which helped establish fact versus fiction in the tale, and the translation read smoothly and coherently. This is the first saga I have read in a while, and I enjoyed getting back into that storytelling style again. As a short and easy read, this book might be a good place to start if you are interested in reading a saga but are worried about following everything, as the action and family relationships are fairly straightforward; however, some of the more fantastical pieces are more fun overall. In the end, I would give this book four stars.
