Description of  Fin Gall: A Novel of Viking Age Ireland (The Norsemen Saga) (Volume 1)

Great intertwining of factions between the Irish "kingdoms" the Danes, or Dub Gall and the Norse, or Fin Gall. I appreciated how the author effectively pointed out how individualized and essentially tribal this period was, when today we are used to politics of nations. While some of the characters could use more development and were a little one dimensional, the protagonist, while a perhaps a bit too superhuman in combat, was interesting and appreciated the elements of mysticism (Wolf Dreams) and berserker tendencies. I would recommend this book if you have similar interests.
