Sold to the Berserkers

"Every once in a while I take a chance on a Kindle Unlimited book. I've read some really great books that were on KU. I've also read some really bad books. This is one of the bad ones. There are a few reasons this makes it to bad instead of just okay.<br/><br/>This is very sparse with showing instead of telling. It was a breeze to get through what I did read, but only because the meat of the story isn't there, just the scraps. There doesn't seem to be anything that anchors the characters into their world and gives the feeling that something is off when read. <br/><br/>There is no character development. The author doesn't give the characters time to get to know each other, to get to trust each other, and doesn't allow them to form any sort of bond before throwing them together in bed. With the story line of this book, this is a critical mistake. For a woman who has been in fear of people for a long time, even for various reasons, it's hard to see them just give in and go with the flow because of the lack of story development. I think the author was trying to paint Brenna off as strong or as a survivor, but it doesn't translate well on paper.<br/><br/>And lastly, the poor writing. For some odd reason, the characters were given Scottish accents in a fantasy world. It wasn't a great fit, for me, coupled with the bland sex scenes. And we've all seen those scenes. The ones that make us cringe. This had some good ones that made me put down this book. We've all read some pretty horrid sex scenes and wonder what compelled a person to write those lines. This has some great ones, such as: <spoiler>"I thrashed on his pillaging cock." "...vigorously tongued my dark hole." "...while the other thrust his tongue into my cunny."</spoiler> They were laugh out loud worthy, but I don't think that was the intended reaction."
