They stayed together and helped each other out. They didn't break off into separate locations it would be too risky. The whole family tended to live together in that one house. Like in Briton, smoke went up a hole in the ceiling. Stables also weren't separate buildings - why waste all that animal warmth! They were connected to the main building. Lindsey invents a house with lots of rooms for one character, but even the other homes seem to be segmented. They didn't have lots of little rooms which would be inefficient and harder to heat. Most Vikings lived in large one-room homes, which stayed warm more easily. However, much of this story is NOT historically accurate. "Of course Vikings raped all their women in the 800s, so therefore you can't complain about the raping, because it was historically accurate".
While a few other reviewers extol the "historical accuracy" of this story, most of those reviewers seem to do so in order to justify the continual rape. Brenna should be my ideal kind of heroine. I love sword-wielding heroines and heroines who stand up against wrong-doing. She has a strong internal code of right from wrong and is willing to fight rather than give in. She takes on villains with strength and honor. With no mother, and an antagonistic step-sister, she has had to fend for herself and think on her feet.
Heroine Brenna has grown up wielding a sword and standing strong for herself. I can only give my personal point of view, and how this story reads to me.įirst, the good. Other people will have quite different points of view on this story, and that is fine too. I realize that we all have different points of view on dominant-submissive relationships, and that is fine. It is a story of continual rape set in 850 in Norway. Fires of Winter was written in 1980 by Johanna Lindsey.
