The Shield and Axe
by M.K. Robert
Ah where to start. DNF'd at 80% because I could not bring myself to care. The guys are two-dimensional and not that interesting. The leading lady is a mary sue if I ever saw one. Becomes a powerful warrior strong enough to beat the Jarl after a few months of training? Also secretly a powerful witch? Favored by Freya even though she isn't norse? And everyone falls in love with her instantly even when she doesn't do anything? Also, she starts killing in battle and has no reaction to it and gets upset about things for like two paragraphs then is magically over it. Poor writing.
The one thing I found interesting was the backflips the author did to try and make the horrible aspects of ancient norse culture not that bad (all the r*ping, murdering, and human sacrifice).
