The English were awfully tedious compared to the Danes - only interested in living a pious and studious life. The Danes were warriors, and their interests were drinking, whoring, and fighting. They’d fight each other if no enemies were available. They definitely had a lot more fun than the dour English, and Uhtred was much happier with Ragnar and his warriors than he’d ever been with his own family. The parts with Ragnar were the strongest because of the bond between him and Uhtred.
Uhtred’s coming of age among the Danes was much more interesting than when he was forced back to Alfred and his priests. The details of life amongst the warriors were intriguing such as the love the Danes had for their ships. Overall a riveting tale of an obscure period of English history.
