Summary:
Solveig, a 15 year old girl, has been left behind by her father, a Viking, as he travels to Miklagard (Constantinople). She doesn't want to be away from her father so she decides to go on the journey alone to meet up with him. She begins alone, but she is unable to continue that way. This brings her in contact with others as she travels through several boats towards her destination.

My thoughts:
Wow, this is rough to get through. There is very, very little that happens. In most cases, if it then becomes really rich with character then I don't mind that, but this is not real great with that either. There is a lot of historical facts, which are interesting, but that's about it. Otherwise, you get to know Solveig a little bit, but she hasn't lived much of a life yet, so she isn't a very deep person. Then she goes on a boat, and another boat, and another. There really isn't much of an adventure within this first installment. I'm not reading the next in the series, but I hope for the sake of fans that it picks up speed.
