This series is awesome but...

I am enjoying this series very much and cannot wait for South to become available. However, I have a tiny bit of an issue with the main character even though Ms. Ford has really written these characters well. The description of Josie's surroundings in every era she ends up in, helps you to imagine being there. However, as intuitive as Josie is, how can she remain so naive about things. She is able to sense some things but can't imagine that some things are happening, even though she has seen so much by this point. If the story was not so well written, I would have skipped through several chapters because I cannot bear it when a character is ridiculously obtuse, and sorry, Josie was being just that in all three of the books. Although we are not able to really predict what will happen next in each of these stories, I feel like Josie could have had a little bit more common sense. Ah well, I know my opinion is not popular. I really am loving the stories but can't help to be annoyed or maybe frustrated is a better word, by Josie's lack of common sense.

At any rate, even though this is not a horror movie, the main character behaves like one of those women in one. So, if you are a fan of the female character doing stupid stuff that will get her killed, this story is perfect for you.

An excellent series that keeps getting better!

How does a series start out excellent and then proceed to get better with each subsequent book? That is certainly true for this series!

First off, if you haven't read the first two books in the series... Stop! These books must be read in order to enjoy the full effect of the plot.

Josie was separated from her Mongol husband, Batu and transported to a Viking community. She is absorbed into the community. She arrived pregnant, unbeknownst to her and finds herself married to a Viking warrior willing to adopt her children as his own.

Life in the Viking era is perhaps more challenging than life on the Mongol steppes. Carter is good about placing her with people who come to care for and love Josie. This time is no exception. Josie learns to live in the Viking era but Carter may have further plans for her that probably won't include her children and certainly will not give her any choices.

I loved the adventure in this book which had me on edge several times. I love the sudden twists in the plot that keeps the reader anticipating more. All I can think is that Lizzy Ford has a major challenge ahead as she brings the series to a close with the last book. I am looking forward to it!!

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
