Gizar looked up at him and asked, "Is Gunnar at home?"
"That's for you to find out," replied Thorgrim. "But I know his halberd certainly is."
And with that he fell dead.

Iceland! Revenge killings! Forgiveness! (After most people are dead, but still.) Loyalty and betrayal! Courtroom drama! Names like Hjorleif the Lecherous and Hallbjorn Half-Troll! Flawed but sympathetic heroes wrestling with the concept of honor! This book is awesome, obviously. Recommend to anyone with an interest in the Viking Age or epic tales well told.
