This story has an incredibly old Nordic feel to it. The way you created the world, especially towards the beginning has kind of a Vikings (the TV series) mixed with Outlander (the book and TV series) feel to it. I usually tend to fall in and out of interest with stories, but when you have a lull in the chapter, it almost gives the reader a sense of calm instead of boredom. I enjoyed the detail and effort put in, though, as others mentioned, it's very long. Keep up the good work with this! I look forward to reading more!
