A review by echoesofbattle
The Last Kingdom by Bernard Cornwell

adventurous dark tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

In other words, we thought the world would go on as it ever did. 

And at the foot of Yggdrasil, the tree of life, the three spinners 

mocked us.

I normally really dislike first person stories, but an older and wiser Uhtred editorializing his early life was super interesting. Big The Phoenix on the Sword energy.
