I have read this book

It was good and was also very exciting, but it lacks being able to tell a good story in an almost "friendly" way. I liked Snorri best because he was calm but also very cunning to trick the Kraken! I would recommend this to someone who wants a story, but wants it to be the genre of adventure. Still a good book though. I guarantee not everyone will love this.

It is a very nice book. My favourite Myth is 'The watcher in the waves' because Halfdan wants to be dead. I would recommend this book.

This book has shown me that there are two types of people in this world. My favourite character is the younger brother because he shows the older brother that it is not all about being the best but about living life the best you can. I would recommend this to a friend.

I think that this story teaches you to try and save a sibling that is in danger and try and convince him or her to follow the best choice. The most person I liked in the story was Snorri because he was trying to convince his brother to not die too quickly. I probably would have recommended this to someone else because it teaches you a few things that are important in life.
