He immediately takes to the Danes, and likes them because Ragnar is funny, and he doesnt have to read or pray.

If he has any feelings about this, we dont know what they are. The Danes kill his brother and his father. The entire book is incredibly juvenile and shallow. He makes a huge life decision, and he literally tells the readers I did it because I was bored. He hates Christian conformity, and he likes Dane nonconformity. he makes decisions based on the fact that he likes to fight, and he wants to be a warrior (Cue endless battle scenes). Though it is first person narrative for the main character, the reader isnt given the main characters motivations for much of anything. There is little to no character development for anyone. The book reads like it was written by a 15-year-old boy. We see them struggle with decisions, consequences, beliefs and circumstances. Viewers understand characters motivations, even if we dont agree with them. I bought this because my family and I binged watched the Netflix series The Last Kingdom, which is brilliant, and based on these books.
