I really liked this attempt to tell the story of Gudrid Thorbjarnardóttir in her own words, for the most part. There were a few stylistic bits I disliked (the bits in italics), and some of the (one-sided) conversations between her and Agnar were a bit too long, but I loved the affection that grew up between them that was very obvious despite the way the story is told.

I only remembered three things about THE LAST LIGHT OF THE SUN:

1. There were vikings.
2. They blood eagled people.
3. I didn‘t enjoy it as much as Kay‘s other books.

Now I‘m rereading it for the first time, eighteen years on, and I‘m loving it. Kay hits me hardest when he‘s PERSONAL, above mythic or political, and this book is very much that. I can‘t wait to plunge onwards.

Also of note: it‘s Allie‘s 8th birthday! She loves it under her tree.

Attending my first #SilentBookClub meeting. Very thrilled to be spending an hour in silence with other readers.

Random book from our personal library.

I liked this book WAY better on my second read of it and I already have the second book checked out and ready to be read! It's a humorous adventure and has a lot of charm. It isn't exactly like the movie which makes it fun to experience as an essentially new story by comparison.

I haven't read this book/series since 2014, but I just saw the new live action movie...

My dragon-loving self wants to jump back in and finish the book series completely now 😅 Its been a decade since I read the first two books, but you can never have enough dragons in your life! Time for a reread & restart #HTTYD #CressidaCowell #ChildrensFantasy #FantasyBooks #Dragons

I think I‘m having an issue with the structure of this, I like seeing the artifacts & blurbs but the longer explanations & geography are daunting. I think I need a museum for this knowledge, not a book.
