Summary
AD 852. For centuries the Vikings have swept out of the Norse countries and fallen on whatever lands they could reach aboard their longships, and few could resist the power of their violent onslaught. They came at first to plunder and then to settle, an encroachment fiercely resisted wherever they went.
Such was the case in the southern lands of Ireland. En route to the Viking longphort there, known as Dubh-linn, Thorgrim Night Wolf and Ornolf the Restless stumble across an Irish ship that carries aboard it a single item: a crown. The Vikings eagerly snatch the prize, unaware of its significance to the people of Ireland and the power granted to the king who wears it. Soon the Norsemen are plunged into the violence and intrigue of Medieval Ireland, where local kings fight with each other and with the invaders from the north for rule of the island nation. With enemies at every hand and loyalties as fickle as the weather, Thorgrim must lead his men, the white invaders, the Fin Gall, in the fight of their lives, with both Irish and Dane eager to see them dead.

Excellent
Unlike some similarly themed books, this one has a strong storyline so it's not JUST endless repetitive battle scenes.

Glad I stuck it out!
Well written
Really enjoyed the story
First few chapters were a struggle with the narrator but I then turned the speed up to1.2 and all got better.
Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Not bad, but...
Overall I quite enjoyed this. but there were a few historic/cultural mistakes (Irish fyrd!) and the Irish names were mostly mispronounced. Some Irish names & titles were OK, but there really was a need for an Irish speaker to check this. Tara, Bridget & Midhe in particular were excruciating for someone who speaks the language!

I couldnt finish it
What would have made Fin Gall - A Novel of Viking Age Ireland better?
A different Narrator
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
I couldnt get passed 20 minutes . weirdly at the end of every sentence the narrator sounded like he was touching himself ... Even weirder was the narrators voice acting wasnt bad .. whenever he spoke as a character it was ok but as soon as he went back to the narrators voice he put on a weird pervy voice
Would you be willing to try another one of Shaun Grindell’s performances?
No
What character would you cut from Fin Gall - A Novel of Viking Age Ireland?
the narrator
Any additional comments?
It actually sounded like the story may have been ok .. I couldnt forgive the poor perfomance of the narrator though
