A review by stephaniecommerer
Brothers of the Wild North Sea by Harper Fox
4.0
CW: M/M sex, brief mentions of past assault, violence and death.
This novel is a historical fiction novel involving monks and Vikings. A monk named Caius injures a Viking man named Fenrisulfr in a raid to their island, and decides to save his life. Their relationship grows throughout the book, beliefs are questioned as love builds.
This type of pure love is something that I hard to find in books, and it is a truly beautiful thing. This book brought great waves of emotion from me, from the first words Fen spoke I knew I loved him, and would cry for him if something happened. My love for Cai was subtle, something I was unaware of until later chapters, until I teared up for him.
This was a perfect blend of action, romance, historical fiction, and Christianity. It was odd to read the beliefs I grew up with being taught to the monks in this way but I love how it wasn’t forced on the reader to believe such things. It was simply the monks way of life. I deeply enjoyed this book.
