(Description from the back of the book) Første bok i SAGAEN OM ISFOLKET - etterkommerne til den onde Tengel, som hadde inngått en pakt med djevelen... Silje Arngrimsdatter var bare bare sytten da pesten drepte alle slektningene hennes i 1581. Utsultet og forfrossen, og med to foreldreløse småbarn å ta hånd om, nærmet hun seg likbålene utenfor Trondhjem for å få litt varme i kroppen. Underlig nok var det bare én som hjalp Silje i nødens stund - en mann av Isfolkets ætt som Silje fant dyrisk og skremmende - og underlig tiltrekkende på samme tid...Specify Books In Pursuance Of Trollbundet (Sagaen om Isfolket #1)

I really wanted this to be good, since the author is Norwegian, but no matter how much goodwill I allow it, I cannot give it more than two stars. I think the translation must be poor, but having not read the original I cannot say for certain. I think people who like sagas will like it, but it wasn't for me.This is pure nostalgia ❤
My mother started collecting this series in the 1980's when she was a teenager and when I entered my teens they became one of my favorite series.The series starts in 1581 in Trondheim, Mid-Norway with Silje, Charlotte, Sol, Dag, Henning and Tengel. Silje is a sixteen year old girl who has lost her entire family and home to the plague and wanders the streets of Trondheim looking for food and warmth, and even though she can't feed or warm herself she decides to take in the two orphans she finds.
Re-reading the saga again... it's a long road ahead through all 47 parts, but then it's so worth it!
3.5 stars~~~~ MacHalo Buddy Read~~~~I enjoyed this story. It was a quick read. A bit dark, full of old superstitions and I like stories like that. Although, many were bothered by the translation, I wasn't really. BUT! Something was definitely lost. Something was off, but I got the gist and liked it anyway.
Spellbound is a charming and atmospheric tale set in 16th century Norway. It follows a sixteen year old girl named Silje (pronounced Sil-ya, according to the internet) after she loses her family and home to a plague outbreak. After inadvertently adopting two abandoned children, she finds a new home and encounters mysterious persons. I found Silje an appealing and sympathetic narrator, convincingly teenage yet forced into adult pragmatism by circumstance; brave and thoughtful yet frustrated and
This is where it all started. With this book. Both for the author, and for me, as the reader.This is where Margit Sandemo started writing a series of books that was unlike anything else at the time. We have to keep in mind this is early 1980's, and supernatural books with a slight erotic twist weren't all that common.I didn't get around to read these books until more than a decade later. I was still a kid when these books came out. Later I was holding off reading these because they were a
