The Viking's Chosen by Quinn Loftis
1.0
If I could go back in time and stop myself from buying this book, I would. I do not know what compelled me to purchase this, but yikes.
If you're into books places in historical settings with elements of magic and old cultures, DO NOT READ THIS BOOK. This author put so minimal effort into actually researching the places, people, and cultures of this time, and it shows. It seems safe to assume that the author doesn't know anything about the geography of England, Ireland, and the rest of Europe for that matter. Everything is spoken about in the most vague of terms and descriptions. The Norse people never even mention their own gods by name when talking about their own religion. Oh, and the princess protagonist is somehow the daughter of the King of England, which wasn't a thing at this point in England's history.
This is the laziest book I've ever read, and I've read some doozies. Save yourself.
If you like video games, play Assassin's Creed: Valhalla instead. It's not perfectly accurate or anything, but at least the game knows geography and the Norse people evoke their gods names.
