As the story develops you get flashbacks to the past, his past, which eventually consumes his time. It is a story of love over the centuries, of struggle against hard times and also of murder. I cannot give to much away as this will ruin your enjoyment. If you like a slightly supernatural story this is for you. Very good.<\/em><\/p>\n Amazon NL, 21 January\u00a02015\u00a0\u2013 5 out of 5 stars<\/em> Amazon USA, 6 February 2015 \u2013\u00a04\u00a0out of 5 stars Minor nitpick: this book would benefit from being looked over by an editor. There are a few repeated errors that look like translation mistakes (like using \u201core\u201d where it should be \u201coar\u201d, or \u201cclique\u201d for \u201cclich\u00e9\u201d \u2013 both of these several times), and at least once a character\u2019s name is replaced with what looks like an English version of the name (Halla is referred to as Heather in one of the final scenes).

\nUnusual fast moving story<\/em>
\nFormat: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase<\/em>
\nI bought this book as I like stories based in Iceland. It sat in my \u2018wish list\u2019 for ages as I was unsure whether or not to buy. There were no reviews to guide me. However I am so happy that I did in the end purchase it.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nA unique story in a unique environment.\u00a0<\/em>
\nA story unlike other love stories. Contains all the aspects that makes you want to keep on reading (power, lust, love and well described feelings and sceneries). Movie material.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nGripping story \u2013 needs an editor<\/em>
\nFormat: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase<\/em>
\nVery good story; starts a bit slow, but if you keep going it will eventually grip you. It made me want to watch the short movie in which the book is based. I very much enjoyed the way the history of Iceland is used as a backdrop for the story, that works very well. The pronunciation guide was a nice touch, by the way.<\/em><\/p>\n

\nNordic spirits and a Nordic Tiger.<\/em>
\nFormat: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase<\/em>
\nThis crime novel swings from standard mystery to very different mythology. Very pleasing story that is tied up well. Most of the characters are very real but not sympathetic. No sweethearts traipsing through this tundra. Great melding of ancient and contemporary conflict.<\/em><\/p>\n
