Iceland shines out from the pages; cold and inhospitable in places but with an elemental beauty. It's easy to see why Sigrun loves it so much. Jorvik, on the other hand, smells and is insanitary. I didn't so much imagine it as sense it! The plot is interesting, but not overly complex and whilst there is violence and death, there's a conclusion which will satisfy most girls in the target audience. There's a lack of specific dating for the story but Jorvik places it as late ninth or early tenth century.
It's a good story, well-written and an enjoyable read. I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag. We also have a review of [[Runaway by Marie-Louise Jensen]].
This book is a sequel to [[Daughter of Fire and Ice by Marie-Louise Jensen|Daughter of Fire and Ice]] but there's no need to have read the earlier book to enjoy this one. We also enjoyed [[The Lady in the Tower by Marie-Louise Jensen|The Lady in the Tower]] by the same author.
