The Viking Way is profound, argumentatively rigorous, and at the same time accessible, making it a must-have for anyone interested in Vikings, shamanism, pre-Christian religions, or the Sámi

"The Norse sorceress is the most comprehensive published volume on ritual practitioners in pre-Christian Scandinavia, revisiting existing knowledge and narratives, providing useful catalogues of small finds and proposing new directions for future research. It is a must for those interested in the intersections between myth, belief, practice, human and non-humans."

★★★★★ The authors’ purpose in writing this book was to provide readers with a vivid look into the Viking Age, and this they consummately achieve. Even though the writing isn’t always riveting, nuanced insights and delightful historical tidbits make this volume not only a worthy addition to any collection specialising in Scandinavian history, but also a stellar resource for history buffs and authors seeking background for their novels.

The author has specialised in Scandinavian history during the period when the Vikings burst out onto Europe and beyond. His knowledge of warfare and tactics of the time is impressive and the book takes a fresh approach to the period, considering both the Vikings and their enemies. This is probably the finest account of warfare during the period and is essential reading for anyone who wishes toto understand this extraordinary period.
