Congratulations! I'm enjoying your Viking saga (is it too early to call it a saga? 'Saga' seems such an appropriate word when it comes to Vikings). What I've seen of the characters - particularly the presumed protagonist, Halfdan - is interesting: none of them are exactly people that warm your heart, but they are true to (my perception of) their time, and you still want to see where they will end up, what they will achieve.
Many thanks. I'm greatly enjoying your detailed feedback in the AAR itself. And many thanks to everyone who posted here.
Qorten, nice to be back in action.
Now that my week is up, it's time to announce a successor. As always, this is tough, seeing there are so many good candidates to choose from in every forum. However, there can
be only one.
In the end I went with an AAR that is essentially a history book presentation, but the depth of characterization is outstanding for this kind of work. So, join me in a warm round of applause to
Mithfir and his compelling characters, especially that of
Richard I "The Just, in this wonderful look at France:
Anscarid d'Ivrea, the Free Count of France.
Check it out. You won't be sorry...
