3.0
The good:
1. Loved the historical setting. I’m fascinated by Viking history, so this was particularly interesting to me.
2. Merewyn’s story hooked me. I very much wanted to know what was going to happen to her!
3. A pretty telling look at how despicable the Catholic Church was in medieval times. Absolutely unbelievable.
The bad:
1. The sexuality, though not particularly graphic, was gross.
2. Rumon. I hated him from the beginning.
3. Some very slow parts.
4. The storyline is very frustrating, and doesn’t feel like it resolves well at the end.
CW: language, mentions of sexual assault, sexual abuse of a disabled person, a vague rape scene, racism, a few scenes of domestic abuse
