Customer Review: Lauraine Snelling keeps us spell bound to Blessing and the characters we have learned to love. I hope she produces yet another in this wonderful, uplifting series. My friends cannot wait for me to add each book to the church library!
Customer Review: A very synthesized telling of the Sigurd myth, seen through the lens of an Icelandic telling. There is a lot more myth to this tale than, say, some of the Eddas or the Kalevala, which incorporate much more lore.

Customer Review: A beautiful book combining stunning photography with an in-depth historical, literary, and cultural examination of Iceland. This book manages to be heavy on both text and photographs.

Customer Review: Dragons from the Sea is an excellent sequel to Viking Warrior. Halfdan begins to fulfil his quest against Toke by joining the raids against the Franks.
