Academic style books are not my usual fare and this read halfway between a study of the actual original Ibn Fadlan manuscript and a fiction book. Knowing that the book was entirely fiction didn’t keep the nonfiction sounding parts from coming off as a bit dry. A very interesting concept and very well done, just not really my thing.
