I previously wrote a few words on Robert Low's first two books of this series (
http://tasmancave.blogspot.com/2011/07/oathsworn-part-i.html) and I've now finished reading books 3 and 4:
The White Raven and
The Prow Beast.
The storyline continues, following the adventures of Orm Rurikson and his warband of hardened Norse raiders and starts off where the last book,
The Wolf Sea, left off. I don't want to spoil the great storyline, but suffice it so say that its an action packed adventure with casualty rates sufficient to slake the thirst of every tabletop wargamer!
It has also provided me with pages of notes for future gaming scenarios and I'll reiterate my thoughts from the last post on these books: if you like Dark Ages action and Vikings you cant go wrong with these. Admittedly the writing style isnt as sooth as Bernard Cornwell, but you'll hardly notice amidst the axes, mead and mayhem!
I've really got to see if my local library has these. Once I finish the book I am on now this might be next.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if these have audio book versions. Sounds like they would be great to listen to while painting/hobbying.
