Ok, why I gave the book just one star: The whole book confused me. Nothing against the main characters, they were all right, I guess; but until the end I thought that Andreas was send into the past by a woman not by a man. Yes, it confused me that a wizard was called a 'witch'. Second: when Andreas and Rurik had sex the first time; II thought that Leif pretended to be asleep and therefore was left out, but suddenly he was right in it? have I overlooked something? So, yes, that's why it only got one star.
