River Kings: A New History of the Vikings from Scandinavia to the Silk Roads
Cat Jarman
Reading update River Kings (3.75⭐️) and Trust (3.75⭐️) were both solid and had aspects I liked. I think the important takeaway here, though, is that I'm really excited to get to the last book in the Siri Pettersen (4.25 ⭐️) series. https://t.co/hGQ4hG5GSo
