Part 2 of the Longbow Series sees Halfdan, our young hero, set out to seek his fame and fortune aboard a a Viking ship of war. It is no ordinary trip for plunder that is afoot, but an all out war against the Franks. (Danes vs. French) Being only 15 years of age, he is not readily accepted by his shipmates, and only got a position on the crew because of his remarkable ability as a bowman. He must not only prove his worth, but must endear himself to other warriors in order to become a man of worth and recognition. He is given a dangerous task in this latest installment, and the cliffhanger ending just might prove that he is well on his way.
I am already reading the third book. Can't wait.
Not quite as good as the first, but the story continues and now I simply have to know what happens, besides my loss of respect for Norsemen Vikings. Perhaps a bath once a year would help.
4 stars
