Gosh, it's like women didn't exist in the history of the Viking world, but for a handful of wives, courtesans, mistresses, and queens. I know this book is a survey, but disappearing the lives of 51% of the population does no one any favors. Especially if you're going to title the book after a female deity.

Apart from that, I appreciated the far-reaching geography of this history, ranging from Constantinople to Canada.
