Handlingen fokuserar mer på mannen som för islandshästarna till island snarare än om islandshästarna i sig, vilket jag hade väntat mig. Istället följer vi en handelsman med inslag av magi, förbannelser, andar och profetia. Boken har ett vackert språk men innehållet påminner om en historielektion med en tråkig historiebok. Kompakt och mastigt innehåll och väldigt mycket historia på en mycket kort bok. Tungläst. Boken föll mig inte i smaken.
