Saga Book Club: The Saga of Grettir the Strong Review

So I finally finished Grettis Saga today. I say finally, not in a negative way (I loved it) but because it has taken me quite a long time to read it. Just over two months, to be precise, which isn’t ideal when you’re trying to start a book club, luckily, it’s a one-person club at the moment because that would be embarrassing!

Perhaps what I loved the most about the Saga was all the weird supernatural encounters, prophecies and curses - very spooky in places! Namely, chapter 35 which is an absolute highlight of the saga; it had me on the edge of my seat while simultaneously reeling at the horrific showdown between Grettir and Glam!

And again, how humorous the characters can be - like no one told me the Sagas would actually be laugh-out-loud funny 😆

Also, are the Sagas just the SGU (Snorri Góði universe) because he’s getting MCU levels of cameos in this one, and I know for a fact he’s in several others too!!!
