In honor of the last season of Vikings, I decided to recommend books to some of my favorite characters, including Ragnar, Lagertha, and Ivar the Boneless. I can't believe we've come to the end of this incredible journey (even if some questionable decisions were made along the way).

I can’t believe I forgot King Harald! For him, I would recommend the Winner’s Curse by Marie Rutkowski. It is a political love story where power passes back and forth between the protagonists. Harald has always been searching for his queen and longs for a great love so I think he’d enjoy the Winner’s Curse!

I’m still on season 5 of the Vikings and I’m surprised that my favorite character was King Ecgberht 😳 As far as my favorite Vikings, they are hands down Ivar the Boneless and Floki. Loved the video and recommendations 😊💖

Loved this video. I’m gonna watch the last season over the weekend and I’m also sad it is the last one. I really liked the show and I specially loved the scenes of Ragnar and Ivar’s journey to England. I’d love to watch a video where you talk more about your studies of Ragnar and Ivar.

@@jenniferbrooks I really liked it. I loved the scenes between Igor and Ivar and the way the relationship of Ivar and Hvitserk evolved. Also the scenes in the new world were wonderful. Even thought this was the last season, I didn’t feel the emptiness I felt when Ragnar and Lagartha died. Like you I was satisfied. They did such a great job with production of the series.

I agree with you on everything when you mentioned Ragnar's personality in the series, but I also think he had a great sense of what he could do or not do (which is different from doing what is right or wrong, if I make myself understood) for example, I think it's the big difference between him and Ivar. I also love floki as a character, but I find Floki very impulsive (at least in the first few seasons) despite being loyal. And it's funny how his personality has changed and in my opinion, in the end he became very similar to Ragnar and mainly stayed with the wisdom that characterized Ragnar also in the end. Ragnar knew how to wait, he had the patience to achieve what he wanted. Floki despite having stayed with this wisdom, in practice he continued to be blind in his own way (even when he wanted to be better and bring better things to his community, after all, I think floki is a naive character). This is to say that in the end, they had similar traits, but with different personalities and Ragnar was an example for Floki. Just as Lagertha was an example for Ragnar. I think that when they broke up and the choice she made definitely changed Ragnar and changed him to the point where he became this character who, despite not being good, also didn't want to judge the motivations of others. It was almost a punch in the stomach, as he took Lagertha for granted, in my opinion and Lagertha taught him to be patient and appreciate it, in a way, Lagertha was also the one who built Ragnar as a person. Oh... and Happy New Year !!! I wish you all the best and that you can achieve all your goals in this new year

This is fantastic, and makes me want to go back and watch Vikings again. I really liked it but I just stopped watching at one point, and never went back to it.
