pickGood story of English youth adopted by the invading Danes and then serving King Alfred of the last free area in the south of England in late 800s. I will read more.
Random book from our personal library.
Started a historical book on early England in 9th Century during time of King Alfred the Great. First of a long series.
pickMostly OK but I had to skim sections about who fought who and why of Snorri‘s kin. Most interesting is that we get all of our Norse myths from a man who lived in 1200s Iceland which influenced Tolkien and others.
Started a book about early Iceland and a famous poet who wrote about Norse myths and the sagas.
so-soBjarni is sent into exile for 5 years and spends the time working as a mercenary in the Irish Sea and Scotland.
This was the author's last book, left unfinished at the time of her death, but unfinished in the sense of unpolished rather than incomplete. It does show in that I found it didn't hold my interest as much as her Roman novels. The world building and insight into Viking life and customs was good, but the story itself was rather meh.
HALFWAY UP THE Hearth Hall the man and the boy faced each other.
