Review: Couldn't even finish it

I managed to get to about 75% before I just skipped to the last few pages, saw the ending and was done with it.  The premise was interesting, and the first few pages were interesting; every so often a conversation or plot device would get interesting and then it would all fall apart.  Odiara and Rothgar were both soooo whiny and annoying!  He is supposed to be a big, tough Viking and yet all he worries about is whether the guys he sailed in with like him -  "The other Vikings are being mean to me! Waaaa",  Odiara is supposed to be a tough, independent woman but she acts like a spoiled brat half the time.  Rothgar has just witnessed a massacre and is a little shaken up, understandably - all SHE cares about is that she wants to have sex and isn't above tricking him to get it.  Real mature! One minute she is so upset about how awful the Vikings are and the next she is cheering them on as they abuse the other villagers.  I don't know what Rothgar saw in her.I tried, really tried to finish this but it was just such a waste of brain power.  It COULD have been good, but I can't recommend it.
