Ahh, another great title, fitting into another passion of mine, Norse Missed Connections. While I enjoy the bloodshed and intrigue of Vikings, I feel it lacking in the truly heart-wrneching tales of lost love that can be found in the very best of poorly written romances. Fortunately, my Santa has found the veritable Casebook of the genre, "Missed Bjorn". Flipping breifly through it, I was caught aflame with references to throbbing shafts (of spears) and throaty grinding (of sharpening azes) along with the tender tale of a winsome viking and the loves and livestock he desires but cannot find. The writing bears some strong resemblance to Brian Sanderson's Mistborn, another author I have heard great things of and never read. I look forward to both, though I fail how the lure of the mist could possibly stand up to the heaving bosoms passing in the Norse night.
