"Back to more barbarian invasions and the journey of Uhtred. His arrogant character is both protagonist and antagonist. His story drives the main story and yet his nasty perspective is one drop in the bucket of the greater story. But his character is well written and likeable, despite his arrogance, anger, violence, and shrewdness. He can't stand Christianity because it is weak and serves a God who is not about power and glory. But I still love it...it's just so honest, even if terribly distorted."
"very much like the others, and like the King Arthur books. Less than five stars? Yes-- because the formula is too apparent. But gripping, like always."
"I think he writes a little better when he has structured historical events he is working with. The first two Saxon books were better paced. In this book the events he wanted to get across seemed more vague and it seemed more like just a bridge that would let him get to his next Saxon book. Still I enjoyed it a lot. You can't go wrong with vikings."
"Kindle Book. Readaloud for Dad. The exciting saga continues, with some fictional characters, some real. This book take place in the north of England where historical information is sketchy, leaving Cornwell to mostly invent an absorbing story. I thought this was the last book in the series, but no! Another is already out, and book five is expected in the U.S. in January. Yay! Dad and I are both really enjoying the saga. Great entertainment. If it were literature, I'd give it five stars."
