Finished while cooking dinner.
Clearly really well researched and I enjoyed the anecdotal tone at times. I wasn't sucked in as much as I had hoped and found myself turning it off or my mind wandering so can't rate it higher. I love the idea behind the book and feel I learned things though.

This was well written and researched. I enjoyed the exploration of sources and how archaeology and DNA science have layered evidence over written testimony through the sagas and other historical accounts. I appreciated the explanation that a lot of our written sources come through a later Christian lens giving a bias we must bear in mind when examining Viking beliefs and ways of life. But this wasn't as compelling as I would have liked and didn't hold my interest that well.

The narrator was very relaxing
Unfortunately history is just not my cup of tea and never has been. I had to listen to the prologue several times bc my mind kept wandering off... just not for me. Might give it another swing if it's shortlisted.
