“From all the books I read in this series, it is both the most nonsense and severe of them all, I sense a dark turn from now on.
I love how David Tennant sings the songs
We could be safe at hearth and home
Around a fire with loved ones near
Instead we brave the cold dark wave
The salty kiss of a Hero's grave
Looking for a land we saw...
Once before... long ago...
HO!
We could take the easy way
Stay at home with loved ones dear
But here we are on rocking waves
Sails spread out like dragons' wings...
Lost out in a hurricane...
Looking for a land we saw..
Once before... long ago..
HO!
Glory comes not to the weak
A treasure land shines out so strong
We see it clear from far away
O Great and Brave and Mighty Thor
I hope that that was land I saw
Once before... long ago..
HO!”

“Det är en sak att stiga i land på en ny kontinent under pompa och ståt, från ett stort och tungt beväpnat fartyg, med gåvor och bytesvaror och god mat. Att däremot anlända mer eller mindre naken, obeväpnad, försvarslös och utan minsta gåva, är en helt annan sak, nåt som alla stackars flyktingar genom historien kan intyga.”
― Cressida Cowell, How to Ride a Dragon's Storm

“Maybe all Kings should bear the Slavemark, to remind them that they should be slaves to their people, rather than the other way around.”
