"The Cross + The Hammer" part 6 of 6. Ragnar and his Irish armies appear to be the lone victors of the day as they break the back of Viking rule and finally pin Magnus down in what seems like certain death. But in an unexpected 11th-hour reveal, Ragnar and Magnus both discover that nothing in this battle was ever what it appeared to be.
If you are not reading Northlanders, you are missing out on some thoughtful storytelling. Yes, there are Vikings, and yes there is a lot of action and gore, but there is more here besides just that. This series is as much about the Viking invaders and the people inhabiting the British Isles, as it is about anything else. Well crafted characters inhabit this world, and Brian Wood does a great job of weaving their stories into historical settings and events. Three arcs into this series, despite the sense of disconnect created by the fact that each arc is a separate entity, it is still going strong. Personally, I cant wait to see what Mr. Wood has in store for us next. Read Full Review
