awesome historical fiction, really gets you into the mindset of 10th century europe, main characters are a group of vikings raping and pillaging all over the damned place, getting captured by muslim slavers and having to row, etcetc. these people saw it as normal and you think "yeah if I lived back then all this would be normal to me too!" about halfway through, the damned christians come on the scene and slowly convert everyone to more modern/familiar ways of thinking (which seem alien to the main characters and to the reader as well after getting into their mindset lol). harald bluetooth is a major character for a few chapters. they steal a big bell from some jihadis. 8/10 might read again in several years. |
