Query: Intense and Intriguing

When I read "The Thrall's Tale" I was transported to a time and place unknown to me. The travel back in time was electrifying. The language takes a few pages to become your own and the descriptions are detailed, but necessary to place you into this barren and difficult land. The historical notes were helpful to understand background.I recommend this tale to all those who love historical fiction with a story placed in a mystical setting. The battle between paganism and Christianity was thought provoking. My reaction to the characters - intense. I was either intrigued or disgusted by them. When I finished the book, I wanted to know what happened to the characters next.I loved this book.
