(Book) Vikinger no more....a look at Sons of Odin Book 3: Oath Breaker


Firstly, I want to say thank you to Erin for allowing me to read her books. It's been a fantastic ride.

Before reading this review, have a look the previous reviews and make sure you read the books!

Book 1: Odin's Shadow review: http://rave-nreviews.blogspot.com.au/2015/06/book-odins-shadow.html

Book 2: A Flame Put Out review: http://rave-nreviews.blogspot.com.au/2015/09/book-a-flame-put-out.html

Now, if you've finished with those, let's get to the review.

The story follows Selia and her boys running away from her former husband, Alrik Ragnarsson. 

What better person to run to than the kinder, prettier and honest younger brother?

Ulfrik Oath-Breaker finds solace for Selia and her brood on an island off the coast of island, where they meet a group and learn to live alongside them. 

Unlike the other books, the final instalment is infinitely more introspective as Selia comes to terms with her true feelings while trying to please everyone. Ulfrik discovers many things and struggles to deal with them in the same way he handles most things; by bottling them up.

This book shows that character development can take precedence over action and still have the same effect as a powder keg going off. Sparks fly, both romantic and violent and it's great to see some older characters return along with fresh new faces.  

Selia has gone through many trials and Erin addresses them in such a way that shows Selia taking responsibility while still retaining her dignity.

A powerful, thrilling and unexpected conclusion to the best Viking romance series I've ever read.

5 stars.
