So I read about a third of this and then life got in the way and the finished it much later so take what I say with a pinch of salt.
I just really struggled to stay invested as it felt that it was just fight scenes or thinking about fighting all of the time. These scenes were well written but it felt a bit repetitive by the end.

i feel so bad that i couldn’t finish this book
i wanted to like it so much, but the writing style just wasn’t for me.
I LOVE the show, im completely obsessed with it, a d i did like the narrative of the book, but reading it felt tedious, i was forcing myself to finish and to liking it
There are bits of history in the book that are totally different on the show, which made me a bit disappointed.
I do recommend reading the book, even though i didn’t like the writing style

Entertaining, but I don't really feel compelled to read the rest of the very long series. There's a sort of smugness to the main character that I believe would get very tiring to me over that stretch. Also bits and pieces of things bother me, historically speaking, but my knowledge is vague enough that I can't 100% say that everything I don't accept is actually wrong. Which is something that encourages me not to read these books, and to read more history instead.
Yep, I'm putting this on the Scandinavia shelf. Take that, Saxons.
I really enjoyed this one!
Will definitely be continuing this series.
