Another important theme is the role of magic. In the Viking fantasy context, magic might be intertwined with the Norse gods and mythology. For example, a broken sword could be a magical artifact with special powers or a symbol of a broken covenant with the gods. The exploration of this magic adds an element of mystery and wonder to the story. Also, the theme of fate is prominent. The Vikings believed in fate, and in these novels, the characters' destinies are often shaped by forces beyond their control, whether it's the will of the gods or the consequences of past actions.
Another approach is to check out series that are set in the Viking world. For example, the 'Saxon Stories' by Bernard Cornwell, while not directly related to 'the broken sword', gives a great feel for the Viking era with its detailed historical settings and engaging characters. Some elements of these stories might be similar to what you'd expect in a 'the broken sword' - like Viking fantasy novel, such as the warrior culture, the importance of honor, and the role of magic in a semi - historical context.
One of the best viking fantasy novels is 'The Long Ships' by Frans G. Bengtsson. It vividly depicts the Viking age, with great adventures on the seas and interesting characters. Another good one is 'Eaters of the Dead' by Michael Crichton which combines elements of Viking lore with a unique narrative style. Also, 'The Sea Road' by Margaret Elphinstone is highly recommended as it delves deep into the Viking exploration and settlement.

The following is a detailed introduction of these novels:
1."Book of Troubled Times": Holding a sword, drinking in Jianghu, slender waist and light palm.
The young man carried a long saber on his shoulder and hung wine on his waist. He strode forward, but the Jianghu in his heart was vaguely difficult to see.
Turning a page in the book of troubled times, it would rain for decades in the Jianghu.
Suddenly looking back, the world has been split into pieces.
2.<<Spirit Realm Walker>>: From ancient times to the present, it is rumored that there is a Spirit Realm in the world.
Regarding the Spirit Realm, there were many famous people and scholars in the past dynasties.
"From Qi to Tang, the mountains are desolate and the spirit realm is lonely. Few people visit."
"Spirit Realm is hard to come by, but Ghost Craftsmen are hard to come by."
3."The Tang's Table":"The Tang's Table" is an unforgettable novel. The author used a profound pen to describe the food culture and life of the Tang Dynasty. Even though some of the chapters felt slippery, overall, the book was a masterpiece that made one feel immersed. The plot was vivid and the writing was beautiful. It made people feel as if they were in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The author brought the readers into that era through detailed descriptions and felt the prosperity and vitality of the Tang Dynasty. Especially the description of the delicacies, it made people drool. Although some of the chapters were relatively dull, overall, this book was a masterpiece that made people immersed in it. Especially chapters 71 and 85, they were very interesting, and people couldn't help but want to keep chasing after them. The author's thoughts and storyline were also very attractive, making people agree with his point of view. All in all, The Tang's Table is a novel worth reading, and I strongly recommend it to everyone.
4."King of Familiars": In this brand new era of familiars, who can become the well-deserved king of familiars?
5:"Fairy, Please Listen to My Explanation": I hate novels with many female leads, but this one is very comfortable.
6.<National Forensic Medicine>: He's a well-known author, but since he's good at writing, we have to accept him, right?
Recently, I've been reading a series of forensic books, but there are a lot of traces and other content. The setting of the key characters is quite interesting. I suggest you read them all.
A recent work.

8:"Mantang Colorful Colors":[Tang]
In the fifth year of Tianbao, Kaiyuan flourished.
This was a year when the Great Tang's strength had reached its peak, when its soldiers were strong, and when its people were strong.
Able ministers, capable officials, famous generals, strong soldiers, endless use of them; There is a lot of food and grass, and the language is beautiful and beautiful.

The An Lushan Rebellion was right before their eyes.

The author was one of the twelve heavenly kings of the 2020 online role model writers, Weird Cousin. His representative works include "The End of Song"
9."Hidden Blind Corner": The quality is guaranteed in the early stages. This is the experience of an ordinary person who, after obtaining a special ability, slowly grows up in a blind corner and reaches the extreme. At the beginning of this round, Sister Daxiao would be able to enter the mysterious dungeon to fight monsters. She would be able to collect the ever-evolving Flower of Evil to build a novel flower armor (Masked Superman's sense of déjà vu). The main character would transform into a Masked Knight and punch everything that was not convinced.
The only bad thing is that I like water, which is the most to my liking out of all the recent books.
10."Final Divine Duty":"Final Divine Duty" is a rather good Deep Blue style work. The cheat of this book was the dark blue system that could add points to attributes and skills. It left a deep impression on people. The author's writing style was very skilled, and the world setting was also very good. The various concepts and forces were very rich, and the timing of the author's introduction of these elements was also very appropriate. It did not give people the feeling of changing maps rigidly. The storyline was fascinating, and the protagonist was about to change maps to enter the official faction for the first time, which made people look forward to it. He hoped that the author could maintain this level of writing in the future to avoid the main character's combat power collapsing because of his unparalleled strength. This would maintain the challenge of the story. Overall,"The Final Divine Duty" was a highly recommended book, with a recommendation index of 82 points. I especially liked the part about mecha in the book. Although it was temporarily a world of high martial arts, this setting was very novel and made people look forward to what would happen next. Overall, I am very satisfied with this book.
[Beyond Time]: 2022/8/11 [Decisive Killing][Calm][EsGod]
Ergen's new book had a strict setting. At this stage, it was written very well and smoothly. The characters were also very full, except for the part where the sea was a little stiff.
"This Game Is Too Real":"This Game Is Too Real" is a fascinating novel. The author's prediction ability was admirable. The plot was compact and the setting was unique. The book described the situation of the doomsday infrastructure, making people feel as if they were on the wasteland, feeling the scene of players working hard to survive in a difficult environment. Although the female character was not very likable, it did not affect the overall story's excitement. Through the various operations of the idiotic players, the author showed the magnificent scene of them building a technology tree from scratch on the wasteland and changing the situation of the apocalypse. This book was set in a game, but it was not limited to the game itself. Instead, it integrated the game elements into real life, giving people inspiration and thinking. In short, This Game Is Too Real was a good book worth recommending.
13."Red Heart Sky Patrol": A book friend recommended it. Food and grass turned into immortal grass. His results rose steadily. There would eventually be a time to kill gods and prove his Dao.
[8 and a half stars!]
"Ring of Destiny":"Ring of Destiny" was a controversial novel. The main controversy was concentrated on the second volume. However, with the release of the third volume, the reviews began to turn around, making people look forward to the future of this book. The author, Squid, showed his peak period of creation with his outstanding creative strength and innovative style.
Squid's books didn't need much evaluation. His works had always been excellent. This book could be seen as the continuation of the Lord of the Mysteries. It had a certain connection with the first book. The plot was also full of a strange aura and was very attractive. The first 60 chapters had a tight rhythm that made people unable to stop.
Every story was very exciting, and the characters were very charming. Everyone had their own personalities. Overall, Ring of Fate was a good book worth recommending and not to be missed.
"The Great Ming State Preceptor":"The Great Ming State Preceptor" was a very outstanding novel. The author used a protagonist who was born in prison as the starting point of the story, showing an absurd but fascinating atmosphere. The reasoning and intelligence of the story were very high, and the author's update speed was also very fast, allowing the readers to keep their attention on the story. The volume of this book's historical theme had already surpassed many works, and the author's writing skills were also impressive. Every character in the story was vivid and lifelike. Whether it was the main character or the supporting characters, they all left a deep impression on people.

Fang Xi wore it, and it was the second time!
In the cultivation world, I was a yes-man, but in the Otherworld, I was a punching bag!
He did not expect that after thousands of years, he would also become a big shot in the cultivation world!
"Who told him to cultivate!" "Who told him to cultivate!" It was a very interesting novel. The author, Crow, had an excellent writing style. She had a unique style in describing the characters and scenes. The story attracted the readers from the beginning and made them unable to extricate themselves. The development of the plot was confusing, making it impossible to guess how the plot would develop later. It always brought special surprises. This cultivation fantasy novel was memorable with its humorous style and good writing style. All in all, I highly recommend 'Who Made Him Cultivate Immortality'! This book was given four stars.
You can read these novels on Qidian Chinese Network.
I recommend the following two fantasy novels with the protagonist holding a broken sword: 1. [Sword of the Universe: A useless sword servant finds himself a peerless genius in the sword path after obtaining a broken sword. With the sword case in hand, he can cut through the heavens and split the earth.] 2. [Heavenly Dragon Swordmaster: The main character obtains the dragon soul and blood of Huaxia by chance and becomes the Evil Dragon Swordmaster and the Demon Emperor. He kills the world and suppresses the world.] I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
Michael Crichton is quite well - known for his viking - themed 'Eaters of the Dead'. His writing style, which often combines research and a thrilling plot, really shines in this novel.
'The Sea Road' by Margaret Elphinstone is also a wonderful choice. It delves deep into the viking world, with its characters showing the typical viking traits. The story is set against the backdrop of viking exploration and settlement, making it a very immersive read. The descriptions of their ships, the long voyages, and the encounters with different cultures are all very well - written.
A more modern take is 'The Broken Empire' trilogy by Mark Lawrence. Although it's a fantasy world, it has clear Viking - influenced elements. The protagonist has a lot of the Viking - like qualities such as being a fierce warrior and having a somewhat barbaric code of honor. The world - building also features Viking - style raiding and tribal politics.
The world - building in Erikson's Viking fantasy novels is quite unique. He creates vast and detailed landscapes that seem to be a blend of Viking - era settings and fantastical elements. For instance, the cities and villages are often described with a touch of authenticity from Viking times, but then there are also magical elements like enchanted forests or ancient, powerful artifacts.
