The Last Kingdom

Not my sort of thing but can appreciate it

As stated in my title, it's not quite the sort of book that I enjoy, in fact at times I found it a slog. This was not because it was dull or poorly written, likely more due to the fact that there were so many new names and names of places to remember and learn. Trying to remember which place was new, which they'd visited, what relevance each had the story took a real level of concentration.

The writing was interesting, at times it repeated the word ‘and' quite often but this didn't lessen the quality and the flow of the story telling. I'd recommend this for anyone who loves historical fiction and loves great wars and ship battles.
