The Last Kingdom

Look, is this series peak literature? Perhaps not.

Does Uhtred son of Uhtred (son of Uhtred) know how to spin a tale that gets me hyped as fuck? Absolutely.

It's been 8 years since I read this book and several years since War Lord came out and I've read anything following Uhtred. This book reminds me why he's one of my favorite characters and why this series gripped me so much.

Also Cornwell writes the best battle scenes. For sure. The end of this book I knew what was going to happen and I still was sitting there like “holy shit”.
