Sinossi
Sette anni dopo la battaglia di Vestfold l'impresa di Harald, deciso a unire la Norvegia sotto il proprio regno, prosegue malgrado i contrasti con l'alleato Hakon e l'opposizione dei re dissidenti, rifugiatisi nella "libera" Islanda e pronti addirittura a un'alleanza col re di Svezia. Mentre Ragnvald, braccio destro di Harald, si scopre stanco di guerra e di violenza e vorrebbe solo dedicarsi alle proprie terre, Svanhild dovrà cercare nuove strade per restare padrona del proprio destino. Consolidato il quadro politico e diplomatico della vicenda storica alla quale si ispira, Hartsuyker si concentra ora sui personaggi, sulle loro fragilità e i loro punti di forza, e porta al centro della scena Svanhild e il suo insaziabile desiderio di libertà.

Unna made a skeptical noise and tightened her arm in Svanhild’s “Every man will fail you eventually,” she said. “Look to your own future.” …She seemed to be carved of ice and fire, not the wood and earth that made up most people.

The Half-Drowned King viking trilogy has been compared to the Game of Thrones books and in some ways this is understandable. Both consist of a series of assembled pages of mushed wood fibers bound with heavy covers and spines. Both are rectangular in dimension and portable. And both make top-grade s Leggi tutto
Mon avis en Français My English review J’avais passé un bon moment avec le premier tome de la série et si j’avais oublié pas mal l’histoire le temps de la sortie du tome 2, je suis revenue dans l’univers avec plaisir. Il m’a fallu quelques chapitres pour resituer les faits, mais j’étais ravie de retr Leggi tutto
The Sea Queen is the second of Linnea Hartsuyker’s Half-Drowned King trilogy (I’ve also seen it listed as The Golden Wolf Saga). If you are reading this I’m hoping you read the first book (The Half-Drowned King). If you haven’t, there are some minor spoilers ahead regarding the first book. This book Leggi tutto
Much of what I loved about The Half-Drowned King is repeated in this sequel, only much more enhanced. I've always loved Svanhild's character, but she has grown even more here. Her ambitions are much appreciated because if there is one good thing that comes from history, it is that women are determin Leggi tutto
What do you do if your genealogy goes all the way back to a King? You write a trilogy about the King. In this case it is the first King of Norway. In the second book of this series, Linnea uses her Brother and Sister POVs to continue the tale of King Harald's united Norway. Ragnvald and Svanhild are Leggi tutto
