tigers68 posted: " (Olaf's Saga #2) by Eric Schumacher Book Title: Sigurd's Swords Series: Olaf's Saga, Book 2 Author: Eric Schumacher Publication Date: June 28, 2021 Publisher: Bodn Books Page Length: 300 Pages (print) Genre: Historical Fi"
From best-selling historical fiction novelist, Eric Schumacher, comes the second volume in Olaf's Saga: the adrenaline-charged story of Olaf Tryggvason and his adventures in the kingdom of the Rus.
AD 968. It has been ten summers since the noble sons of the North, Olaf and Torgil, were driven from their homeland by the treachery of the Norse king, Harald Eriksson. Having then escaped the horrors of slavery in Estland, they now fight among the Rus in the company of Olaf's uncle, Sigurd.
It will be some of the bloodiest years in Rus history. The Grand Prince, Sviatoslav, is hungry for land, riches, and power, but his unending campaigns are leaving the corpses of thousands in their wakes. From the siege of Konugard to the battlefields of ancient Bulgaria, Olaf and Torgil struggle to stay alive in Sigurd's Swords, the riveting sequel to Forged by Iron.
REVIEW
"the trials, tribulations, and the agonizing situation they are forced into are as exciting as anything I've read in the historical-fiction genre." That is a quote from my review of the first book in this series, Forged by Iron. Well, my fellow readers, the author has continued that trend in Sigurd's Swords. The time spent under the banner of a vainglorious prince tested the mettle of our heroes...the siege at Konugard is exhibit A of the descriptive ability of the author. The reader is sitting against a wall, his shield dented, his sword bloodied, surrounded by untold suffering, untold despair, but also with a glimmer of hope. Another aspect is watching the ever changing relationships between Olaf and Torgil...and the one between Torgil and Turid. Filled with the boisterous banter of warriors, the adventurous spirit of Olaf, the inner turmoil Of Turid, and the steadfastness of Torgil, Sigurd's Swords is a definite page turner...one where the last page is just the beginning of the next chapter in Olaf's Saga. 5
