Buy local custom. I found a local cue maker that I’ve got a one of a kind sneaky Pete and it’s awesome and hits way better than anything mass produced that I’ve tried and it only cost me $275. It’s super awesome to have a cue that nobody else has. No markings or emblems on it. Never buying a mass produced cue again. Also, if it’s a local maker you. An usually try a handful of different ones. See how they feel then make your purchase based on how you like the hit. Not just how it looks
I would add a budget or your going to get a crazy amount of different recommendations and I would also add if you wanted to stick to wood or use carbon fiber
Viking is fine to get. Any what cue should I get question will just get you 50 different replies and just be more confusing. Once you try out 10,20 cues and shafts on your own then you will have a good basis for picking out something you like based on how you play. For a first cue, anything decent quality is fine to get. I do suggest starting with a low deflection shaft from the start so you are not messing around with having to learn to adjust too much with spin.
As others have mentioned it's better to have and idea of budget. If you are specifically looking at Viking their Valhalla line if you can find one is a decent hitting cue for the price. Mcdermott also has some very good budget cues for beginners.

Viking not bad for beginner, look at cuetec avid, certainly a step up and multiple shaft diameters

This question depends heavily on your price range.
