Resumen del Editor

"Pagan ships have done much harm to the islands of Aquitaine. Some of them were entirely lost...a great chastening is upon them unlike any the ancient Christian world has ever seen." (Alcuin of York, Letter to Arno)

King Horic is dead. The oaths that once bonded the Danes and Northmen in the islands of Aquitaine have broken. Hasting's new land is imperiled by fearsome challengers and old foes alike. A rumor from the continent will shatter the brittle veneer of his strength and expose his deepest wound from the past. His greatest trial will not be fought with a sword, ax, or shield, but with his heart.

A supposed son of Ragnar Lodbrok, and referred to in the Gesta Normannorum as the Scourge of the Somme and Loire, his life exemplified the qualities of the ideal Viking. Join author and historian C. J. Adrien on an adventure that explores the early life and adventures of the Viking Hasting and his crew.

Successful Sequel

My favorite kind of historical fiction. The age, the characters, and the story all based in historical fact. I really enjoyed book one, so I was optimistically hopeful that book two would compare. Although there is obviously going to be a book three, the story came to a conclusion and some of the underlying questions were answered, but the prophesied betrayal will wait for the next book. To me Hastings is a new hero to root for. I expect the same engagement and adventure in future stories. The narration was excellent.

A fun adventure for the young

Not a bad story but somewhat underwhelmed. The first book was entertaining but this one missed the mark and I'm on the fence as to whether to continue. The history is good, but not enough to sway me to invest the time on the next.

Some of the voices the narrator

Some of the voices the narrator used sounded more like Dracula rather than a priest or lord.

A good start

I liked the start of this title, especially after the initial book. The spiral downward for the main character was a good middle conflict. But shortly after I didn’t care for all the soft emotional intrusion. It seemed as though it went from a hard reality so a soft light hearted good guys always win type story. It felt as though there was a suddenly different author who extended unnecessary parts of the story for some kind of new age intersectionality inclusion.

There still seemed to be a frame work to work within which I enjoyed. But there was just to much crying and squabbling.

The Notebook

But with Vikings. Viking warlord somehow endowed with perfectly 21st century sensibilities. I tried, I really did, but I'm out.
