A man who suddenly finds himself wounded in a strange place... wanders to a cabin, and finds a friend to help him get home. Cruel Vikings, pillagers who will murder and take whatever, whomever they want. Monks ("wise" men), who have been "enlightened" with the knowledge of astrology the "power," of the timing in the movement and the paths of stars and planets. That power which has an effect upon the affairs of men and the natural world; that allows for time travel (and conclusively, the rescue of a loved one from the hands of the Vikings). A few mentions of the additional beliefs of the wise men (the monks), who also teach of Jesus Christ, and of His death on a cross (Christianity), and Who is (more powerful, not ALL-powerful), than the cruel gods of the Scotts. The concluding statement (as a narrative license), is that the story is true, having been passed down to the storyteller's daughter from her father. For this reader, astrology and the Cross of Jesus Christ, are ill-fitted, even in a work of fiction. Having said that, the writer is a very talented storyteller, whose word pictures paint beautiful illustrations for the reader, and the historical nature of this novel makes it a very worthy read.
You have some good points here and for sure the tales in this short series are somewhat fantastical. Please be assured the mishmash of beliefs in no way reflects PureReads complete dedication to a pure unadulterated gospel. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
