Anyone else have some perhaps... unhinged thoughts while reading a book? Because I could not ✨️wait✨️ for freakin' Bernard of Septimania over here to d!e 😂😅

Also, fair warning: this post/book review is for my history nerds 🏛🫶

The long and short of it? Oathbreakers: The War of Brothers That Shattered an Empire and Made Medieval Europe starts off rough (SO much information—names, details, locations, etc.—thrown at you), but if you stick with it, it's super, super interesting; definitely a real-life Game of Thrones! I only wish the end hadn't felt so rushed compared to the rest of the book. Like, what was Charles the Bald's reign like after he was the last one left standing? Also, what kind of name is THAT? Poor guy. Who was that final battle against? What happened to the empire after HIS death? I want to knowww.

That said, overall, this is an excellent and fairly easy read for those who want to learn more about the Franks and early medieval period!

Thanks so much to Harper Perennial for the gifted copy.
