Reader's interested in Norse-Viking type personas of Denmark may well be interested in this saga. It depicts fierce warriors of yesteryears in constant battle over land, power and religion - or lack of it and in dependance upon gods or God, as the case may be. Battles being between West & East Francia and Denmark.
It took a few chapters to build up enthusiasm for the narrative for me as there is much blood, gut and gore sort of lore that just is not my cup of tea. Eventually, though, the mystery surrounding Charles and a certain cross got the curiosity juices flowing. Historical fiction although loosely wrapped, does get my attention. Other readers may well have greater appreciation overall in the third book in the Charlemagne Cross series. I believe a fourth is forthcoming.
