About this deal

It’s in the aftermath that the episode’s theme of belief comes in again. Floki’s visceral hatred of all things Christian outlined above, was established from the series’ start, his position as mystic/madman making his aversion seem to come from somewhere deep and primal. (The look on Gustaf Skarsgård’s face when he spits out the name “Jesus Christ” is as Floki as Floki gets.) On the night she’s to enter the Hunt, a perilous trial to earn her title of warrior, Isla meets her fated mate. Handsome, arrogant, and frustratingly captivating, Kai is everything she could want, but nowhere near what she needs right now. Because he is the king of the enigmatic Deimos…which makes Isla their rightful queen. Book Genre: Adventure, Fantasy, Fantasy Romance, Magic, Paranormal, Paranormal Romance, Romance, Shapeshifters, Werewolves, Witches This book was an amazing work of fantasy and I enjoyed it immensely. I always find myself at a loss for words when I finish a truly impressive book, I just don’t have the words to do it justice.

Personally, I enjoyed the mystery/plot more than the romantic push and pull in this case, but I feel a little cheated with the way everything ended. I know there’s a second book in the making, but c’mon. We got the big bombs and then they just got brushed aside in the last few chapters. Through the book I hoped to at least see Isla become the actual Luna and not just.. “oh it’s all mine now, I guess”.. The whole end arc was a little anticlimactic for me. Isla is the FMC who was strong, sassy, fierce and protective of those she loved. Kai is the MMC who was brooding, powerful, protective and loving. Isla and Kai met and their mating bond snapped but both decided it's better for everyone to separate their ways. But little did they know? Fate put them on a same path again and it's complicates their decision without touching each other. Only tension is high. Besides that, Isla and Kai faces the mystery that looms over Deimos history and suspicious those they trusted but who to trust in the end? The war is threatening between two powerful territories and Isla is caught between. Even with the points listed above, I rated the book 4.5 stars and rounded up to 5 stars because I just couldn’t rate it 4 stars, it was too good for that. But do not think I offer nothing in return; I tell stories. Stories about my own travels. Stories about the Gods or both. As they say, I sing for my supper. Harbard

Cast of Gye Baek, Warrior’s Fate

The goddess, Fate, must enjoy playing with the mortals. For why else would she choose the most important night of Isla’s life to place her soulmate on her path? Another irritant through the series - the whole storyline takes place over a couple of years. It is not an "evolutionary" timescale. So this whole "variants evolve" business is just annoyingly wrong. But I understand why the author thought it is needed. The "monsters" otherwise would be too dull of an enemy. I'll admit, when I saw all of Prince Burgred troops I was caught off guard. I didn't realize Prince Aethelwulf's men would rain arrows down on them from above. They set the prince up nicely, an he surrendered. I loved when Ragnar slammed his head into Burgred's face. Fimmel's expression was fantastic! Having monsters and the dog as POV characters works sometimes to enhance the complexity of a character. On the other hand I find it increasingly frustrating when the same event is told several times over from different POVs. Is that strictly necessary? We already got the whole event once, there is no need to waste time with another retelling. It doesn't add to the experience. The characters are not exactly deep thinkers and the events being described are just simplistic action sequences.

As someone who dislikes the omegaverse ranking system that is prevalent in werewolf / wolf shifter romances, I actually didn't mind the system in AWF. It might've been because the Greek letters were used interchangeably with other terms, such as alpha and king, beta and second-in-command. The goddess, Fate, must enjoy playing with the mortals. For why else would she choose the most important night of Isla's life to place her soulmate on her path?

A Warrior's Fate is the Adult Paranormal Fantasy Romance and its first installment in the The Alpha and The Warrior series. As always, remember, you can watch Vikings online via TV Fanatic if you ever miss an episode and need to catch up. Permalink: This is not about you Floki. It's about our children and their children.
