loved the 3 stories

loved the 3 of them, but the last one was my favourite, because for a change I didn't know how it was going to end.
the 3 of them were very dark, and quite primitive and brutal
the narrator was ok, but at times her male voices sounded like robots..

Dark & Intense

Viking Warriors is a unique and brilliantly-written dark historical romance trilogy. It's a compelling and sensual, packed with passion, intensity, and drama. There are elements in the story that are quite violent and hard but expected from the period. Emma Parry did an exceptional job with the narration, particularly the harsher scenes. I'm wholly impressed by her performance and ability to modify her tone.

If you like your romance dark, Viking Warriors is a perfect choice, one I highly recommend. I was given a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

5 Viking Stars

Viking Warriors is from three separate books and follows the life of Elswyth, an English woman captured by a Viking.

I thought the overall audio series was thoroughly absorbing. I was most definitely transported to the Viking world de Maupassant has created, and the narration by Emma Parry, really added an extra layer to the experience of the story for me.

*Viking Thunder*

This was a really good historical / viking story. The audiobook is set in England, and is the thoughts, feelings and reactions of Elswyth, the wife of the village chief, to the sacking and pillaging of her village. As a viking story, this book does contain scenes that some listeners may find upsetting.

This is definitely not a romantic tale, but there are the beginnings of a love story within it.

*Viking Wolf*

I felt that the author drew a vivid picture of how life was in viking times, and evoked the feelings and atmosphere I would imagine of how people in that society would live, and love and function. The story itself is more than a love story, it really is a story of a young woman and her struggles within a male dominated village. I haven't really read or listened to many other stories about the vikings, but I definitely enjoyed this audiobook.

*Viking Beast*

This is the third installment in the story of Elswyth and her life with the Vikings.

To say that Elswyth has been on a journey thus far (from the previous two books) would be an understatement, and in this story so much more happens to her.

De Maupassant really knows how to use language and craft a really engaging and intelligent story. Her book's build up the tension and give us unexpected endings. Nothing seems to be a given in her world. It is brutal, it is not for the faint-hearted, and it is a story of a strong female and her survival in a tough world. This is a really remarkable series. A definite recommend from me for Viking story enthusiasts.

Dark romance, Viking times

This is the story of Elswyth. A woman born from rape. Her life surrounded by violence. Captured by string Vikings and made their slave and also their wife. There were not easy times them, so much violence and women degradation. Elswyth was a very strong woman, capable of defending herself and what and who she loves. That’s what got me from these stories. She adapted to anything in order to survive and kept herself afloat, which caused so much jealousy. She is the ultimate viking warrior.
The narrator helped live the stories with the emotion needed.

This Story draws you in!

A real feel of how things were in Viking/Berserker times. It is good to read that Strong women endure. There is no way that you wont want to know how Elswyth's story ends.
