The Norsemen Saga #8
A Vengeful Wind
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 Bécc is determined that Thorgrim and his men will not simply go free. And when another band of raiders arrives, Bécc 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 that the upper hand might come from the direction they least expect—from the sea.

Best Viking saga !
Nelson 's Norsemen saga is the most exciting and entertaining historical fiction that I have read in a,long time. Maybe ever. His love of the sea and ships is clear in the description of the longships, the way they are sailed and designed. The characters are really well developed and interesting, both heroes, villains and those who are both. Great read!

I know I can always count on a James L. Nelson novel to be an absorbing, page-turning adventure and this 8th book in the Norseman Saga is no exception. Plenty of Viking adventure to be had.
In this volume, Thorgrim Nightwolf and his crew are still in Loch Garman and have almost completed the repair of their stranded ships. They will soon be ready to sail for home in Norway…or perhaps back to Vik-Lo where Thorgrim knows he could be a jarl. He is torn. But before he can make the final decision, a warrior-turned-monk launches his revenge, leading a battle force against them, and taking any such decisions out of play.
It's always fun to see the various strategies and tactics play out in these battle scenes. Thorgrim makes several key mistakes in this novel which leads to some interesting and unexpected plot twists. He is not perfect, despite his growing reputation as a “lucky man”. These mistakes humanize him just a little more and lead to some extremely dire straits. We get to see plenty of battle action as well as a survival at sea scenario which really brings the author’s knowledge of ships and sailing to the forefront. Additionally, we are also introduced to an entirely new set of characters in England, and their much more political battles for power. I really enjoyed that part as well and look forward to the upcoming novels in this series which will further explore their stories, especially as they begin to interact with Thorgrim’s Vikings.
It’s good to see a series in its 8th volume not rest on its laurels and instead pursue new avenues of adventure. I’ll certainly continue to be along for the ride.

I liked the premise so much in the beginning: An unresolved murder (for hire) and a young, grieving bride-turned-widow who is continually underestimated simply by virtue of being a woman.
Eventually, it becomes clear that she is anything but a doe-eyed, bovine girl. That concept of being in a pretty pickle because of looking down upon one's adversary who is allegedly easily outwitted is a trope we encounter repeatedly in this historical fiction.
Yet, I still cannot claim to have enjoed it, mostly, because I have disliked nearly every character, and the storyling has been related far, far too verbosely.

OHHHH!!!!!! I am about half way thru this book and I am just loving it. This one may be one of my favorites in this series, and I have loved them all, but this one seems a bit different to me. We find Thorthgrim fighting for survival from his shipwrecks in Ireland and a Saxon lord in England also fighting for his survival. How will these two threads come together? Very exciting.
Gosh, I loved this book. This, once again, was a thrilling adventure. The harrowing land battle and the fight for survival at sea through a horrendous storm were a page turner and I found myself holding my breath and wondering if this was the end of the saga. But no!!!! I await anxiously for the next book to find out what happens with our beloved Norsemen and the English lord who is fighting for his survival in medieval Engla land. Fantastic read. You will love this saga. James Nelson writes a fantastic adventure.

Eh.
The "two lines, no waiting" approach, with Norse in Ireland, and Saxons in Wessex, didn't work, and only even remotely came together at the end. It's obviously setup for a larger story, which would be great, but as a standalone, eh. If Nelson died tomorrow, this book would leave readers going "And...?"
Neither line really comes to a satisfactory resolution - Becc dies of infection in Ireland; the Norse land in southern England in the middle of a thoroughly anachronistic power struggle that doesn't mirror how actual medieval Christian custom would have worked... as in the marriage was either the legal document of betrothal, or the consummation, the church ceremony was the least important part of it. And under absolutely no circumstances ever would the two-minute wife of the ealdorman have been able to muster a legal case as his heir, over a legitimate brother. It's a weak plot meant to set up further adventure, but all it did was irritate me in how contrived it was.

When longships bearing more Northmen land on the beach on the other side of Loch Garman, Thorgrim Night Wolf knows the delicate truce with the Irish has become unbalanced. All he wishes is to finish repairs to his own longships, obtain the sails that the monastery is making, and set sail; instead, he and some of his men row across the water to offer hospitality. But the offer is rebuffed because Thorgrim slew the newcomers’ leader months past over control of Vík-ló. Thorgrim and his followers return to their makeshift longphort, hoping to depart before the Irish learn of the new Vikings. The gods have other plans.
Once a man-at arms and now a monk, Brother Bécc hates the invaders and wishes to eradicate them from all of Ireland. The arrival of more such vermin provides the lynchpin necessary for him to once again take up arms, first against the newcomers and then against Thorgrim Night Wolf. Bécc and the local rí túaithe lead their men on a carefully planned night attack when the Northmen are drunk and asleep. Just as a rout is achieved, out of the darkness upon the sea come hideous monsters – longships crowded with men with Night Wolf at their head. Bécc’s anger at failing to achieve God’s will is such that he murders a man and then uses Thorgrim’s intervention to attack the longphort.
In Angel-cynn (which the Norse call Engla-land) in the town of Sherborne, the people who matter gather in the cathedral to witness the marriage of the ealdorman to Cynewise, daughter of a neighboring ealdorman. Just after the couple exchange vows, a minor thegn kills the groom and calls for others to rise up with him. The assistance he seems to expect comes to naught and the murderer is slain. Nothwulf is stunned at the death of his brother, and is intent on finding out the reason for the murder. He also hopes to step into his brother’s shoes and become the new ealdorman, for surely a wife of two minutes who is as distraught as Cynewise has no desire to take over her husband’s duties. Yet Cynewise is not as meek or frail as she appears; behind Nothwulf’s back she plots, plans, and garners local support to gain King Aethelwulf’s support in naming her as ealdorman. The only one in her way is her brother-in-law, but with the help of the shire reeve who slew her husband’s murderer, Cynewise soon deals a crushing blow to Nothwulf . . . or so it seems until news of Norse ships landing give Nothwulf an unexpected advantage.
The opening of the eighth book in the Norsemen Saga is a bit slow as readers are introduced to a new storyline that involves a new land, new characters, and new words. Thorgrim’s tale continues in the second chapter, and thereafter, what happens in Ireland is intertwined with events in England. Only after a riveting battle between the Northmen and the Irish does it become clear as to why this new storyline has been introduced. Equally enthralling is the fearsome voyage on stormy seas that easily brings to mind the words of The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, “In this year dire portents appeared . . . and sorely frightened the inhabitants. They consisted of immense whirlwinds and flashes of lightning, and fiery dragons were seen flying in the air.”
There’s some discrepancy between the descriptive severity of Thorgrim’s wound and the quickness of his recovery, yet this is a minor aspect. What is compelling is his maturing character arc and some of the realizations he comes to as he enters his fifth decade. Harald Broadarm, Failend, Starri Deathless, and other familiar characters help make his life more interesting, as do the reappearance of several characters from earlier titles in the series. As always, Nelson includes maps, a longship diagram, and a glossary to aid readers in their journey with unfamiliar settings and vocabulary. He also selects quotations from contemporary writings to hint at what is to come in each chapter.
A Vengeful Wind is a well-crafted blend of historical fiction and intrigue that vividly recreates a time period centuries in the past. Nelson’s gift of storytelling transports readers to these strange lands to such a degree that the modern world is soon forgotten and we’re swept away just as the Northmen find themselves cast from the shores of Ireland.

Better than Many
I’ve read seven volumes of this series and find many exemplary areas that keep me interested. The books flow better than most, moving from action to action. When used, the dialogue draws you forward, but it could be greatly enhancing the book ‘s readability by tripling the amount of short and direct dialogue.
moves forward two steps, then backwards 3-4 steps. That is a tiring process. And it’s always put on Thorgrim who can’t seem to realize the Norse gods don’t ‘let’ him go forward or back, but it’s his free will the Scandinavian culture had to a of back in the pre-10th century. I hope follow on book let T grow a set and take responsibility for his actions and not diminish himself by blaming it on ‘the gods.’
Please, author, let T visit home then get him the heck out of the British Isles area! Let’s read more of Viking raiders going to the many places they had been going to by the book’s timeframe. - the Baltic, the Rus, European continent, etc., etc.
I keep waiting for the examples and use of excellent archery capabilities the Vikings had been using for over 100 years by the time of this series place. Sure, a shield wall was the primary footmen’s tactic since before Christ…for the love of Pete, why isn’t that major capability ever used by the good guys instead of just the baddies, when used at all?
Cornwallisms. Much of each volume of the saga is taken up by incessant descriptions (and huge sections of redescriptions) of possible lines, maintenance of boats, etc., and I’m finding it increasingly difficult to plow through pages of it. I’ve read it all before. Hoping it diminishes from 40% to maybe 5-10% of the book.
Expanding one’s horizons doesn’t necessarily mean getting rid of beloved characters…but you don’t have to take up more and more of a book in a series by a seeming cut/paste technology gone wild.
I look forward to a book in the series that gets more of the fighting Norse culture into the book by references during actions and brief discussions and not pages of description.

Thorgrim’s Adventure continues
In this episode of the series we rejoin our small squadron of Viking ships on the Irish coast where they are making repairs. But, this episode is somewhat more complex as events in Saxon England are interspersed with Thorgrim and his final confrontation with the fanatical monk Becc. Towards the end we realize why as Thorgrim, an admiral now, guides his enlarged fleet across the Irish Sea to land in England, barely any closer to home in Norway.
I can pick a few nits— on one occasion I think a ship turned the wrong way or rather the oars were described working in the opposite direction from what would make the ship turn as described. In Harald’s fight with Becc the latter ‘s leg is broken by a kick, while footwear for the Norse is described as soft leather. I think of moccasins or 1960’s Top-Siders. Could such a shoe inflict that much damage? More serious is the fact that the ending isn’t satisfying— a sequel is obviously called for and planned.
But maybe that’s not all bad. The series has developed a life of its own and as it becomes more sweeping and covers more real estate, we learn more about the Viking world. Thorgrim’s wife is dead so there can’t be an Odyssey-like reunion in the last book, but that’s all the more reason for us to follow subsequent books to see how it will end. Great entertainment with authenticity too!

Not as good....
I’ve been reading this author for several years now. This book me ages to get through. It moved much slower than previous books in this series. It was starting an entirely new story although some characters are the same. It would’ve been better to have simply ended the series. Then picked up again with the continued adventures of Thorgrim. I will read the next book to see where the author goes with this. But I admit I’m not as interested and excited as I usually am.

Love this series
It started a little slowly and at first I wasn't sure about the point of the concurrent plots in England and Ireland. The English characters were all unlikeable and I started skimming ahead. But finally it all came together and now I can't wait to see what happens next. Please don't kill off Thorgrim or Starri ever. The other characters are not strong enough to survive without them. Thank you for these wonderful books.

Good
I gave it 5 stars because I really like the series. This is still good just not my favorite. I understand the back and forth between two locations but I grew tired of the new people because I love Thorgrim and the crew. They are the ones that captivated me and why I continue to read this series. It is clever how James Nelson pulls the strings to drag it all together. However he did leave a cliffhanger and I must read the next book!

The adventure continues
If you have enjoyed other books in the series, you will like this one. Some new twists and turns await Thorgrim and his crew. I just hope Mr. Nelson will get more pages down, the work from home order means I have almost finished what has been published.

Another rousing adventure
Amazing action, captivating characters. The gods blow Thorgrim and his crew to Engla-land, smack into more intrigue and adventure. Well done!

Highly Recommended
Thorgrim Night Wolf is my all-time favorite Viking hero. Even ten books in this series still wasn't enough. Great writing and plots.
