For kids raised on D'Aulaires Norse Myths
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
The interspersed stories of Vidar's alter-ego, Sin Skolding, make this story a hit for me. The main storyline tale is well told and full of action, romance and pathos without degenerating into being a bodice-ripper. While not as deep or thought provoking as other available fiction in the same format, such as Gaiman's American Gods or Zelazny's Amber series, this book offers a fun read, ample entertainment, and would not be ashamed to stand next to them on a bookshelf. It deserves consideration by their fans or others who grew up with the Norse myths as bedtime stories.
An excellent book that should be printed again

An excellent feast to fans of Norse Mythology. The main story is interspersed with tidbit legends and "memories" of Vidar told as stories. Those who aren't familiar with Norse Mythology will find their interest piqued by this incredible book, which I have yet to find in a used bookstore.
