Wow! The Pagan's Prize is a quick-moving and exciting story. It's so easy to be caught up and start feeling like you live in 11th century Russia, or Rus,  with these fantastic(and/or treacherous) characters. I loved how Miriam Minger included bits of information regarding how life was like in those times, along with how people referred to themselves and each other. I really felt educated after finishing and was never bored or bogged down with the details. The heroine was a fine example of a strong, yet vulnerable woman who speaks her mind and defends her beliefs, sometimes even to a fault. She is a proud woman who holds herself in high regard even being of "lowly birth". There is such delicious tension between the main characters, yum! You just know it's about to get really good!!! All in all, it was another example of why Miriam Minger is such a superb story teller.
