Summary
Even the strongest man in the world has a weak spot!
Magni knows what he wants, and he's used to getting it. As the second-in-command in the Northlands, he doesn't care that he comes across as rude or domineering. Asking for permission or apologizing for his actions is for weaker men.
Six months ago, Laura was Magni's sweet and submissive young wife. Tempted to experience the independence of women in the Motherlands and to learn martial arts, she ran away. Now, she's back, stronger and more confident than before, determined not to let a man dominate her, not even the one she once fell in love with and married.
Is there a way for Magni and Laura to be a couple again with her need for independence and his need for control? And can someone as proud as Magni overcome his anger with Laura for leaving him in the first place?
Contains mature themes.

Not sure yet. Slight spoilers.
The first ten minutes start off well. Laura is determined to show Magni that she isn't the submissive wife that she had been before she left six months before. She promises her sensei that she won't let him control her the way he had before. This pleased me. I wanted her to stand her ground because I wanted to see Magni fight and work for her. (It's obvious he has a softer side from his interactions with little Milla and the other motlander girls)
She sees Magni from a distance at the Northmen parting ceremony and seems confident that she'll stand her ground when face to face with him. I believed this.
Then the earthquake happens. Magni takes her home and in the next ten minutes of the story, she completely dissapoints me by giving in to him and allowing him to punishe her for leaving him. And then gives in to him sexually. The sex scene was really hot, but maybe a little too soon. I'm not sure. I've read other books that slowly work up to scenes like this and fall short because of high expectations. I'm now concerned that because she gave in to him soo soon the other heated scenes between them will be mundane, and not very exciting as they already came together at the beginning of the story and let out all the sexual tension.
I'm only about thirty minutes into the book and I'm already annoyed. I never felt this way with the others. I enjoyed them from start to finish. I think because I was looking forward to this one more than the others that I was expecting a more exciting beginning. I was hoping Laura would stand her ground from the start by not giving in too soon and push Magni to bring on an exciting cat and mouse chase where he'd finally realise he'd met his match in a female. I can't see that happening now with how quickly she caved to his dominance.
One hour in. I'm starting to see Laura's backbone, speaking back to Magni and trying to stand her ground against his manly ways. Two things have slightly annoyed me, though. How can he not notice her changes body wise. Working out for six months, learning how to fight would obviously change her body. She'd be more toned. Yet, this isn't mentioned while his new scars are. Another thing is that while he slept, he dreamt of little Milla and murmured he loved her in his sleep. Despite him telling Laura who Milla is, she should have been upset by his sleeping confession. After all, he has never told Laura he loves her in all the years she's been his loyal, submissive wife. I feel her response to Milla and Magni's confession in sleep (despite the shock of Milla being a motlander girl in an experimental school in the morthlands) should have been stronger. Magni not showing his emotions or telling Laura how he feels for her is one of the reasons she left him. I expected her to think on this, but it was washed away with the knowledge of an experimental school.
So...when Laura and Magni finally go hand to hand fighting to see how good she is...it's completely skipped over. And she isn't that good Wtf. Another dissapointment.
I loved how Solomon stood up to Magni thinking Lauran needed protection. I think Magni knocking him out was a little too far, though. I'm kind of hoping Magni is Solomon's dad as they act alike and look alike. It's possible l. After all, Solomon was born in the motherlands and sent to the northlands like most Northmen boys and is at the age he could be related to Magni. It''d be a nice surprise as Milla isn't his biological child.
I'll continue to listen as the story is only just starting, but so far I'm not holding high hopes for it anymore. Maybe I looked forward to this one too much...Idk...but I'm feeling let down by it already and so early in. I really hope it gets better.
I'll update soon.

Very entertaining
Oh, Magni. You are such a complex caracter and Laura is perfect for you. She just had to find her self first and see you through a child's eyes..
And Hans..He's such a fun caracter

Good book
This is another good book in this ongoing series. I loved to see the progress the Northmen made as well as Laura and the other women. full of drama and angst it was an engaging read. The narration was excellent as well. Looking forward to the next book.
