Marti Talbott’s Viking series is an ambitious 7 books long and it begins with The Viking. It’s always great when an author’s freebie is the first book in the series. So, Marti had my favorable feeling before I began reading. The book itself is a perfectly serviceable historical romp for young adults.
I found it a little hard work, but my son thought it was brilliant and I guess that’s what matters in YA fiction. The book tells the story of a young Viking stranded in Scotland after a mistake during a raid. He then ends up living among the people who want to kill him trying to find out who is trying to kill their leader.
You can pick up The Viking on Amazon for free for now. Why not get it while you can?
