Fantastic series, set in a pre-prehistoric America, about the struggle of the ancient peoples of the west coast (Scandinavian/Asian), the mysterious subterranean dwergar, and their eternal foe, the implacable Ice. Marvellous combination of the mythic, the magic of metal, and the reality of human nature. Follows the adventures and travels of Elof, greatest of the Mastersmiths of the North, as he hammers and forges his heart and soul not only into the works of his hands, but also into his destiny. Gripping, imaginative and creative stuff. |
I agree, it's one of the best EPIC series I've come across and the way the ice is described is just great!
Don't forget that's the original trilogy, there's several other books in the series, I assume you are aware of that too?
BTW welcome, don't think I've seen you around before.
