Short Review: This was recommended to me by a number of people. I found it via interlibrary loan because it is expensive. It was well worth reading, but this first volume is only the first of 9 volumes released to date (all over 400 pages). So there is a real investment if you are going to pick up the whole thing.
The story is about early vikings. The violence and raiding of the culture are front and center. This is a very violent novel. But it presents itself as a book that is in the long run against violence. You just have to get through a lot of violence to get there.
This first volume is clearly primarily set up. There is a story here and it was engaging, but it felt like it barely scratched the surface.
My slightly longer review is on my blog at http://bookwi.se/vinland-saga/
