I finished reading Linnea Hartsuyker's Half-Drowned King trilogy. It is based on Norse Sagas and history during the rise and reign of Harald Fairhair, and brings a part of the Viking era to life. It has action, politics, and family drama. I have one complaint in that some events feel rushed, but overall, Hartsuyker has a fantastic story to tell. .

My April TBR, as well as the two books I started, but didn't finish, in March. I'm in the middle of The Mirror and the Light by Hilary Mantel and The Golden Wolf by Linnea Hartsuyker. Both are the final installments in their respective historical fiction trilogies. .
With extra time on my hands, I might finally get to The Forever Queen by Helen Hollick. .
Amberlough by Lara Elena Donnelly is for a buddy read with Jackie @deathbytsundoku .
The Game of Kings by Dorothy Dunnett comes highly recommended by @simon.haisell , so I am looking forward to diving into the Lymond Chronicles
.
Rilke's Book of Hours and the Everyman's Library edition of Gerard Manley Hopkins are two books of beautiful, if melodramatic poetry to escape the everyday drag of social distancing.
.
What are you planning to read in April?
