A talented writer strikes out.,
By
This review is from: Viking's Prize (Paperback)
Regrettably, two years have lapsed since I found a new Tanya Anne Crosby book. Unfortunately, this author has taken some time off, and finding a rare Crosby back issue can spawn great jubilation. Ms. Crosby can write a story. However, this is not one of my favorites. Although, the beginning of the book is entertaining, there just isn't enough inspired yarn to carry the reader to the end. Alarik Trygvason, a Viking lord, invades Brouillard Castle in France and abducts his enemy's lady, Elienor of Baume-les-Nonnes. Alas, this little lady happens to have the gift of second sight. Taking advantage of this strange phenomenon, Ms. Crosby agonizes with the tedious belief -- to reveal such a marvel would result in Elienor's doom - a "burn at the stake" future. Secrecy has its merits -- but let it go. The writer's runs with a second storyline -- the effort to introduce Christianity into the Scandinavian countries. Holy moly, too many words spent on the dogma of religion for this weary reader. I'm probably one of the biggest Tanya Anne Crosby fans, but this book fell short, her later books are much better.

An enjoyable read,
By inkypink - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Viking's Prize (Paperback)
This book, by Tanya Anne Crosby, was as usual a very enjoyable read. I haven't disliked any book written by her so far, and I don't think I ever will. The Viking's Prize, perhaps, just wasn't for me because I've never read a Viking story before. I just did not like how Alarik constantly bullied Elienor, it seemed that way to me. He did not give her options in any matter at all and basically bullied her into doing things his way - conciously or not or its just because he's a Viking warrior. Elienor herself was a mass of contradictions and it got a little irritating after awhile. Other than that it is an enjoyable story, I read it in a few hours. If you want to read something better by Tanya Anne Crosby, IMHO, read "Once Upon A Kiss" or "The MacKinnon's Bride".
