    WINGS OF THE STORM PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Giles Kristian | 336 pages | 28 Feb 2017 | Transworld Publishers Ltd | 9780593074565 | English | London, United Kingdom Wings of the Storm PDF Book Jan 21, Tosh rated it liked it Shelves: historical-fiction. The hero in particular is by far the most intense and deeply sensual character I have come across in the last two decades of reading romance novels - the major reason I read this again each year or so. Why don't some historical authors get it into their heads that when they w This could have been a good story but It is a small, subtle tiny thing that says even the smallest change in the past can affect the future. If I had read this last one in closer succession, I would have been completely enthralled. The author included an interesting idea with the romance between Jane and Sir Daffyd. Fell in love with all the characters. Apr 29, Clemens Schoonderwoert rated it it was amazing. This is mainly because the narrator's one voice fits all. Susan Sizemore. Perhaps someone like Ragnar Lothbrook, his sons or Harald Hardrada? If you liked the first two parts, then this book is the icing on the cake. Loved all three but this may be the best one of the series. She's mad at him for a few pages, but don't worry, true love saves the day. I highly recommend this. There are some nice twists to the plot and how Sigurd builds his army is great fun. Wings of the Storm brought to close Sigurd's quest to avenge his father and brothers.
