Basically written as if you’re sitting around a campfire and a drunk Viking is telling you an age-old tale of some long-ago Viking and their adventures. It was long, but really quite enjoyable. Not long in terms of page length necessarily, but the writing style was very descriptive in the sense that is goes something like “this happened, and then this happened, and then this person died, and this person went to battle”. It felt like the perfect book to pick up from time to time and get a good 10 or so pages read for a quick-fix of Viking adventures.

In a another time, and another headspace, this would have been a book to fall in love with for a lifetime. I'll definitely come back to this when I'm in the right headspace
