Summary

They came to take no prisoners. Their eerie horns made a distinctive sound, and their fearsome longboats struck from out of nowhere.

Monotonous, poorly edited.
I gave up after about an hour and a half.
I think it’s narrated by a satnav, really monotonous.
It doesn’t follow any clear chronology, jumps about, repeats itself.
“Compulsorary” is not a word, also for example while listing animal skins worn, bear is repeated in the same sentence. Little things but annoying & should have been picked up.
Probably fine as a reference book but doesn’t translate well to audiobook.

Viking epics
I love how this book was written with lots of good content and information about the viking age. If you are into series like Game of thrones and the likes, I am sure you will enjoy this audiobook.
