      I kept listening expecting this to get better. The intimidation, beatings, and rape of women is not entertainment. But this writer apparently believes it's fine and women just get over it.
    • 5/5
      Catherine Coulter’s Viking series follows SEASON OF THE SUN though it is not related to it. Really, this is the first in the “Viking lord” trilogy (see list below). Set in Ireland and an island off the coast of England in 910, this is the story of Mirana, a Viking woman who was abducted. By one night by her brother’s enemy, Rorik, Lord of Hawkfell. Rorik seeks vengeance for the death of his wife and children at the hand of Mirana’s brother, Einar. Once on Hawkfell Island, Mirana makes friends among the women and comes to see the island as home, but all is not well, and Einar still has plans for her.

      Catherine Coulter has taken care to get the period right, including details of dress, food, and dwellings. She has also created wonderful characters, including a huge dog named Kerzog. The writing is well-done and the plot has satisfying twists and turns.

      While Rorik’s actions toward Mirana were brutal at times (and the low ratings are just a reaction to that in my opinion), you have to remember this is a Viking romance, set in the times when women were chattel and taken in raids to be slaves. Then, too, Mirana, who Rorik is coming to care for, is the sister of his enemy who slew his family. That these two could find love is definitely a story of second chances and love triumphing over obstacles. Miranda's brother, Einar is a real deviant who likes inflicting pain and cares for no one.
      There is humor, action, and a complex love story here. A worthy Viking tale.
