>I'm the strongest and the boldest, and the bravest and the best. Yes: I mean — I may have bathed in the blood of beasts, netted five foul ogres at once, smashed my way into a troll den and come out swinging, gone skinny-dipping in a sleeping sea and made sashimi of some sea monsters. Anyone who fs with the Geats? Bro, they have to f with me. ----- Absolutely amazing. Captures the ethos of the hero so well. Sometimes, just like we thought the ancient statues were just stately unpainted stone, not realizing that they originally were brightly painted, we give these old stories a kind of formality and stuffiness, when in reality they were stories told by drunk warriors. This excerpt seems to capture that original essence. Looking forward to the book being released.
