Viking Styr Hardrata,
his wife, and his men landed their ship on the shores of Caragh Ó Brannon’s village
in Ireland. Caragh and her brother think they are attacking when Styr just
wanted to rest before sailing on. From the time they depart the ship things go
downhill fast.
Where to start with this
one? At first I really liked the characters. Caragh shows fortitude in a trying
time and Styr is honorable. And then it all goes to shit. By the end of the
inane story I hated them both and wished they’d just drown. The plot is
ridiculous, the romance unbelievable, and the characters…just ugh. I nearly
gave up on this several times because there’s little to redeem it, but I
slogged through. I wish I hadn’t. After about the first 15% or so it’s crap.
All of it. And Caragh is not likeable. At all. Oh, she starts out innocent, but
after she finds out Styr is married she goes out of her way to tempt him into
cheating on his wife. Her behavior is beyond detestable. She can go suck a
dick. A single dick. Not a married man’s no matter how fucked up his marriage
is. He was an honorable man before he met Caragh. Ugh. Hate her. And now I hate
him. What a giant shitball. And that scene in the tent? Who does he think he’s
fooling?! WTF?! Ok, rant over. I’m going to make like a dog, kick some grass
over this shit and prance away.
