Could it be adapted into a movie?

I think that it would work. There are ways to get around the language thing and there’s always subtitles.

I'd love to watch the movie of this book. I would keep the script with Latin and Celtic on some scenes, just like they did in GOT. That would give the movie a beautiful charm, in my opinion. All fantasy books keep parts of the ancient languages they present. Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter do that and I think it charming.

It could definitely be adapted into a movie as I have seen dramas such as Outlander do a good job of incorporating other languages other than english into the show. Watching movies with subtitles is certainly not a hardship for me if it comes down to it.

I echo a lot of the thoughts on here that this book could be adapted into a movie. I have no concerns about the different languages; in fact, I love watching shows with different languages (both real and fictional) with subtitles such as Game of Thrones and Heroes.

I would love to see this as a movie! I was already imagining the landscape so wonderfully described by Tanner. I think directors could come up with a work-around for language issues -- like giving the two people groups different modern accents. I would love to see what cgi would do with the raven flights!

I'm sure all of the major players in Braveheart weren't supposed to be speaking English. I don't see that as a barrier, but the shapeshifting adds a strange complication and might place this into an odd movie category.

It would certainly be an interesting challenge for them to try, I would sure like to see what they might come up with.

I don't think the language would be an issue. Vikings had multiple languages, however they only used the foreign language when showing ignorance, but used English predominantly.. it would make a good series.. flesh out some of the subplots

In some ways, it could have a few problematic aspects, but overall I feel it would mount into a beautiful and stunning movie. Kudos to the author for coming up with such a wonderful novel!

Where did you read that Vikings predominantly spoke English? Old Norse was their primary language.

I think that the language would be an issue, but many movies have been successfully done with subtitles. I think it would be a great movie with a lot of special effects. People who don’t like to read might find a movie more appealing. My own thought of another drawback would be of all the twists and turns. I think the first book would have to be made into at least two just to fit it all in or lose part of the storyline.

I was referring to the TV series Vikings. It made it clear to the audience that the different lands were speaking different languages, but the show was done in English for the audience, instead of them having to use subtitles. So I was saying the different languages for this book wouldn't be an issue. There are ways to make it work.

I think it can be adapted as movie moreover the regional language doesnt seems to be a issue at all a good content will always be appreciated by viewers.

[Majaliwa Abiba Alice]

Yeah. I believe it can. Subtitles can be used to solve the language issue.

My main interest in that movie would be the costumes. So many books turned into movies underwhelm with their costumes. I'd like to see some historically accurate clothes.

That didn't occur to me, but you're right. It seems like in every single film/tv series they're always dressed in dark brown or gray rags. Just a constant air of dreariness and depression. Is it too much to ask for some beauty every once in a while?
