darchildre: the master reading war of the worlds (reading)
Njal's Saga, chapters 16 through 25.

In this section, Hallgerd's second marriage ends as badly as the first, Thjostolf gets his comeuppance, we hear what happened to Mord Gigja and his daughter Unn (Hrut's first wife and father-in-law - remember them?) and meet their kinsman Gunnar (who gets a whole chapter telling us how awesome he is) and we finally meet Njal. Gunnar and Njal hatch a plan to reclaim Unn's dowry from Hrut. It is a sneaky, sneaky plan that turns out pretty well for them, at least for now. Unn gets remarried and has a son named Mord, who "will be in this saga for a long time." We also meet all of Njal's sons.

Previous parts of this saga can be found here. All saga posts can be found here.

Enjoy!
