Valkyrie Rising : Book Five in the Viking Blood and Blade Saga

Gibbons shows he is quite skillful at creating a warp and weft of events that would make the Norns jealous and angry a mere man has this skill.The characters change as some go to Valhalla to await Ragnarok. Others step forward to take a place as they mature and exceed expectations, be it good or bad.There are a few areas that are repeating earlier phrases or descriptions, that could make one believe the ‘puter is being used for copy-paste…but I am quite sure it was not done literally. It’s always good to remind a reader of previous info and events.I look forward to Rollo engagement.

Great writing, especially the shield wall battles. I really enjoy this story li e and characters. Only complaint, Mr Gibbons seemed to excited to use the words “thought cage” in place of any cranial activity. The first time he plugged it in I thought, cool, but by the sixth or seventh time it became silly. Jmho love the books, just being honest. Don’t get hung up on fun phrases

Gibbons delivers yet another satisfying read! Action and adventure are Hallmarks of this series and he never stints. Good old viking fun!

I am amazed @ the dire situations the author wove into the entire series. While the heroes did survive they did so with costs. Friends died or were brutalized even as the heroes were wounded. A fun read

It was a good enough story line, but I didn’t enjoy it as much as the other books in the series so far.

The descriptions of the battle wounds allows you to see everything in your mind. Great story and brings history alive.

Great ride with Hundr and crew. Fast pace, never slows with excellent historical adventures throughout the novel. Cant wait for next iteration

Great series

This book is 5th in its series, I've read all the previous books as well. They are all just awesome, this one was extra awesome. I don't know if it's because Hundr finally faces his brother and kicks his ass, or the whole valkyrie side show, but it was just an amazing, exciting, gripping read.

Have much enjoyed the saga of Hundr, action abounds in this latest book. If you enjoyed the other books you devour this one.

No 5 and the final one in this series. Great stuff - excitement and action on every page. I hope Peter Gibbons realises there is room for No 6.

Read it in less than a week!So well described that I'd see a movie in my minds eye, while reading.Crazy pace that will keep you hooked till the very end!

I love the whole series so far this however is the best of the lot as of yet. May there be bmp many more
