This is a fantastic tale set in what could have been early germanic life, during the roman invasion. I found the descriptions of day to day living to be beautiful and the battle scenes to be epic. There is, throughout the book, a great deal of poetry which I found long winded and dry; but this is because I have little appreciation or patience for romantic poetry.
I was drawn to this book, because it had been referenced as a book that influenced Tolkien. I did however not expect to find direct influences to C.S. Lewis. One character sketch that was strikingly similar to the greek in ?Till We Have Faces?; and there was also a name that found its way to be one of the races in ?Out of the Silent Planet?.
I would only recommend this book to someone interested in the influences of the aforementioned writers, or readers who have patience with romantic poetry.
