Finished the first Saga, Gisli's. Too many characters that didn't add much, total of 12 in the opening chapter. And 80% of characters in this saga are called Thor-something, often called the same name with not much distinction. Along with locations being called Thor-something too. Made for a confusing read at times.
Pretty okay though.
2.5/5? Maybe a 2 because of all the Thors.

Onto Grettir's Saga.

Will slowly make my way through this, and will mark each play individually read when I've read it.

For the Honour of the Gods - Again, another solid story. About how 'glory' for the gods equals the end of peace and harmony. Short, simple, sweet. 7/10.
Worried that Dunsany will pull the rug out from under me if I start expecting the stories to be good now.

Great Name(s) in this: No names in this.

The Men of Yarnith - Shocked that this is good. Have not been enjoying the stories so far. The proseth beath oldith. The first time that old-timey prose actually worked in favour for one of the stories. Which is a simple story of Men finding their prayers have fallen on deaf ears on their God, Yarni Zai, instead of giving up, they become their own Gods. 7/10.

Great Name(s) in this: Hothrun Dath.

Polaris - is a decent, but very brief story about a nameless narrator talking about a city they only see when they dream. It could easily be fleshed out a bit more, but it just feels like a nice idea that was rushed. 5/10.
