I would have read this book because of its strong female characters and romance, but I don't prefer explicit scenes and rape. Thanks for the recommendation and great review.

I really love the cover and I think it suited the book perfectly. This book about Vikings and Norsemen sounds so interesting and informative. I don't know much about them so this book is definitely going on my to-read list. Your review was compelling and beautifully written. I think it really captured the essence of the book.

Demanding sounds like a force to reckon with. I wonder how she got entangled in a love triangle.

This book seems to have an interesting plot. It gives the readers a peek into the lives of the Vikings and helps us learn a lot about their habits. I would love to see what turns this story takes. Thanks for the great review.

I cannot tell you what happens to the Vikings, but the book is intended to solve an historical enigma. Thank you for your comment!

It's critical for a book to have a good character development. I enjoy that the particular one seems to have it. Great review!
