Publisher's Summary
The Vinland Viking Saga: Book 1
History set her fate in stone....
Murderer. Mercenary. Temptress.
Trickster. Traitor. Thief.
But under a hammer that falls like thunder, stone will always shatter.
So with her voice she lights the forge.
The Voyage of Freydis sings the silenced tale of Freydis Eiriksdottir, the first and only woman to lead a Viking voyage across the Atlantic in this tempestuous retelling of an ancient Icelandic saga set at the dawn of the 11th century.

Like feeling depressed? Then this books for you.
Alright story of an historical journey. Completely filled with similes and metaphors, almost to extent that it's annoying. If you like to be sad and read the worst possible outcome for every situation, this books for you.

Filters - Historians and Our Own
The Voyage of Freydis provides the reader a vision of the Norse Viking colonization of North America told from the perspective of a female Norse Viking - Freydis who was wife to a powerful Viking. Goranson crafts a story so vivid, when I reflected on the story sometime after completing it, I had to correct my initial thought that I had watched a movie. A gifted writer takes the reader to other worlds, times or possibilities. The reader, from the comfort of their now, receives the gifts of new friends, enemies, adventures, adversary, knowledge and perspective. An exceptional writer is not afraid to invoke the spectrum of human emotions from the most primal level and to challenge the reader's comfort level though exploration of the facets of human nature we may prefer to turn away from. A challenge of our personal filters creates discomfort not unlike a scary movie - we easily survive and which I welcome like an amusement park ride lol. An awareness for the filters of historians, politicians, media and even family members is wisdom. To me - a good book is enjoyed but an exceptional book stirs my emotions across the spectrum and leaves me contemplating some aspect of myself and humanity. I pick a book because I think it will be a good book but when it challenges my comfort level, my view of the world past and present, gives me characters that stay with me and new experiences that I can feel belong to me - it becomes an exceptional book. In my opinion, The Voyage of Freydis is exceptional. I am anxiously waiting to get the next correspondence from my soul sister....
