	EscapeToRomance.com \| Review of DANEGELD by Susan Squires
		For their love to survive, they must overcome not only the forces of their enemies, but also their own demons and the difficult hand Fate has dealt each of them.
		Susan Squires’ DANEGELD is just the kind of dark, doom-ridden and adventure-packed romance that should appeal to any fan of the medieval period.
		Those who cannot stomach violence, however, should pass on DANEGELD; in keeping with the historical period, it’s full of fairly detailed and sometimes disturbing violence (rape, for example).

	Danegeld
		Since Britta is telling this story (the story however is written in third person - no "Hello, this is me, Britta!" sort of storytelling), I'd think she could do a better job explaining her motivations.
		Still, it is nice to visit a distant land in a distant time for a few hours, thanks to the author's skilful descriptive style.
		However Danegeld is bleak and gloomy - sometimes too much - with little emotional poignancy to make it worth the pay-off.

		Unless we are prepared to bring against the fathers of English history a charge of repeated, wanton, and circumstantial lying, we shall think of the danegeld of Aethelred [the Unready]'s reign and of Cnut's as of an impost so heavy that it was fully capable of transmuting a whole nation.
		Whether or not contemporary chroniclers were guilty 'of repeated, wanton, and circumstantial lying' remains a controversial issue, recently debated at length by M.K. Lawson and John Gillingham.
		It is, however, clear from the subsequent history of the geld, that such levels were not maintained.
