Review title: A great start to the trilogy
Product review: This was a great trilogy. I enjoyed Harry Harrison's Stainless Steel Rat series, but that's a lighthearted, comedic series. It made these books quite a surprise. They follow the life of a boy named Shef and his impact on the medieval european world. It melds together vikings, english, romans, galls, germans, arabs, jews, and almost every people of that time.The series has a strong religions message that doesn't really come out in fullness until the end. Maybe I mean religious philosophy - it doesn't really endorse any particular religion as much as examine how absolute belief without question can be dangerous.The books are quite gritty and realistic. There are lots of battles and fights, and the character development is great as well. The characters are deep and the plot is unpredictable. If you like gritty fantasy, read this trilogy.
