I never finished this book...
I was probably two or three chapters from the end when it was due back to the library and I just didn't care enough about it to renew or plow through the last few pages.
I guess I was just uninterested in the characters and their lives. It is apparently part of a series and I realized I wasn't going to get the questions I wanted answered until the next book or maybe the one after that. They weren't exactly keeping me up at night so I have no desire to read More...

Inside his grandfather's old sea chest, Sky discovers some runestones and a journal. When his cousin, Kristin arrives, they explore the journal and the runestones combined with a ouija board and find themselves drawn into the lives of their Norse ancestors and time travel to fight a blood feud that is centuries old.

yang bilang buku ini bagus, sini gue colok matanya pake elder wand nya harry potter. BIASA aja. merujuk to BORING. tapi mungkin karena ini buku pertama, belum ada gregetnya. Caranya melukiskan tindakan atau perasaan si peran utama tidak memuaskan saya dan kadang malah bingung. Atau itu karena terjemahannya yang... euleh-euleh? So dua bintang saja cukup. Namun saya akan tetap membaca lanjutannya.

Dark and adventurous--a wonderful start for a grand adventure. For fans of Norse mythology, journey and adventure books. Great boy book but not limited to male readers. Looking forward to reading on in the saga.

This book taught me so much of the Viking livelyhood. It was fascinating, twisting and a very good read.

Not bad. Di ending buku rada kaget juga saat kebenaran terungkap secara perlahan-lahan...

Great! A bit of a dark twist on the Rune (to my interpratation.) But still worth the read.

Great concepts and good plot twists, despite some clunky prose and the usual YA tropes. I hope the characters flesh out more in the second book.

Maybe I didn't give it enough of a chance, but I followed my 50 page rule and it was difficult. I didn't connect with the main character and though it was interesting reading about runes, which are my hobby, I didn't get a good feel from the book about what it was all about.

Heaven's above! I loved this book! Chris Humphreys you give me hope! This man writes in the same style that I do and it is great to know that these kinds of books get published and enjoyed by millions! It had an intriguing and well-researched plot, engaging characters, and was seriously creepy. Who could ask for more?

Entrancing and entertaining. This book was informative, and explained parts such as the runes clearly enough that people just learning about them could follow along with out any problems. Truly worth the read.

This book was pretty good at the beginning, but then it got a bit too weird to be really great at the end. Worth a read, but maybe not on the "Top Five Books Ever Written" list.

Absolutely wonderful! Just the right amount of action, suspense, and darkness.
