"Once more, Harrison and Holm have produced a riveting novel set in the
late 9th Century. The various religions - Christian, Moslem and
Norse - and their differences are the backbone of the novel, and a lot of
research into the various customs and beliefs gives the setting solidity
and believability. Interestingly, none of the religions are favoured over
the others by the authors, and a sense of turmoil caused solely by
different beliefs is present throughout ... King and Emperor could
be read as a stand-alone novel, but I would recommend reading all three in
this series if you are an historical fantasy buff. It's certainly a cut
above the average."
