About this listen

Summer comes to Ireland, and an uneasy peace holds at Loch Garman. The Northmen, eager to get to sea, work relentlessly on their ships, with the aid of their unlikely allies, the Irish, who are just as eager to see them go. But not everyone is willing to just let them sail away.

Certain that God demands the heathens be punished, the one-eyed warrior turned monk Brother Becc is determined that Thorgrim and his men will not simply go free. And when another band of raiders arrives, Becc finds the excuse he needs to take action.

Meanwhile, in the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Wessex, murder leads to a violent struggle for the seat of ealdorman, ruler of the shire of Dorset. Desperate as each side is to tip the balance of power their way, no one imagines the upper hand might come from the direction they least expect - from the sea.

Poor editing spoiled this volume for me. I have really enjoyed the previous volumes in this series, but things like Thorgrim being badly wounded and then almost immediately being up and running as usual with no further mention of the wounds are ridiculous. Also potatoes did not come to Europe for centuries after this setting, so why are they mentioned as meal ingredients? Furthermore, phenomena is a plural word so why use it when you mean a phenomenon?

This felt like a transitional book in its story.
There were some very good high points and the story keeps moving.
I'm eagerly anticipating the next book in the series. The character development in the side-plot and the ending will make the next entry really good from a character interaction point of view.
