Now THIS, this I like. Very nicely written, well thought out and the execution was excellent.
Definitely looking forward to reading more.

I like it so far! ^_^ I never have seen a Nordic story before *claps* i can't wait for more!

I'm interested by the idea of this story, as it involves a relationship between men within a culture and a time that I haven't seen that done before. So you've got an interesting idea to run with.

Personally, I think you could spend a little more time setting the scene at the start of the books. There were suddenly a lot of named characters within the few opening paragraphs and it took me a few reads to sort out who was who. I think we could do with some more introductions to who the protagonists are and perhaps a little more time spent describing them so that we can visualise them a bit easier in our minds.

A technical question: I always thought that Viking dwellings were single roomed longhouses. You describe quite an advanced construction with two storeys and doors, which seems to give them a potentially unrealistic amount of privacy.

I'd be interested to see where this story goes over time, but it would be great to see it fleshed out with little more detail.

ooooh, vikings. this makes me awfully happy, you know, very promising, please continue!
