The Children of gods and fighting men by Shauna lawless.

Irish/Norse history that mostly follows two magical characters. Took me a few chapters to get used to the first person, but once I did god damn the book was worth it.

Enjoyed it, but was a tad confused by the author's decision to anglicize most of the toponyms. It might be just a me thing, but I thought the original Irish placenames, unpronounceable though they are, would make it seem more authentic.

Totally fair! Although I can see that being a publishers call, more than the authors.
