King's Man: The Heroes of the North Live On - Viking Trilogy Historical Fiction Book | Epic Viking Saga for Adults, Norse Mythology Lovers & Medieval Adventure Fans | Perfect for Book Clubs & History Enthusiasts

I hardly ever review a book, or books I've read, but feel compelled to do so with the Viking Trilogy. Just prior to reading these books I had read several historical novels of Viking history. As an American of Norwegian and Danish ancestory, I have always been fascinated by my Norse ancestors. The historic novels I had read recently were jam packed full of battles with the hero being a great fighter, etc., etc., and I really enjoyed the reads. So, I was a bit disappointed when I started reading the first book of the trilogy as the main character starts out as a boy and is a boy throughout that book, and there's just not much action. I kept trying to convince myself I was bored with the tale, but realized I didn't want to stop reading, and found that I was really enjoying the history and the culture that was being so interestingly described. When I finished the first book I couldn't wait to get online and order the second book and was so convinced that I ordered the third book at the same time. I was not disappointed. All three books were a great read and I feel I learned more from this trilogy than all of the other Viking/Norse historical novels I've read. I commend Tim Severin for his great story telling ability, he would have been a great skald, and I highly recommend these books for anyone who wants to get a real feel for the culture of that era, while also being entertained by the story.
