About this listen
"For indeed the Frankish nation, which was crushed by the avenger Hasting, was full of filthy uncleanness. Treasonous and oath-breaking, they were deservedly condemned; unbelievers and faithless, they were justly punished." (Dudo of St. Quentin, Gesta Normannorum)
Orphaned as a child by a blood feud and sold as a slave to an exiled chieftain in Ireland, the boy Hasting had little hope of surviving to adulthood. The gods had other plans. A ship arrived at his master's longphort carrying a man who would alter the course of his destiny and take him under his wing to teach him the ways of the Vikings. His is a story of a boy who was a slave, who became a warlord, and who helped topple an empire.
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 coming of age of the Viking Hasting, his first love, his first great trials, and his first betrayal.

started slow then went great
the novel starts slowly with a lot of narration and not a lot of action. then suddenly it takes off and doesn't stop until the last chapter. it's a great and we'll written historical fiction. I recommend it to fans of Bernard Cornwell and Conn Iggulden.

A very hard listen
Whilst the content was reasonable, I found the narration, tedious and distracting, leading me to be easily distracted and threatening to "turn off".
I don't recall disliking a narration as I did this, and I cannot bring myself to continue the series,
such a shame...
