Still enjoying the tales of Uhtred, though he is beginning to become improbably invincible. This book seemed a little less historical than the rest and was a little less interesting but I still greatly enjoyed it.

Enthralling

This series is very captivating to me. The author brings this period in history alive with the historical characters as well as the culture and events from that time. I look forward to the next novel in the series.

I've come to realize that Tom Sellwood is at least half of the reason I have enjoyed listening to the audiobooks of this series so much. He captures the tone of Uhtred so well that you don't realize how much is being communicated to you through his characterization until you listen to another rendition.

I won't say that there are any huge surprises in this continuation of the tale if you have already read other books in this series, but it holds its own in the continuation of Uhtred's journey. We know that he will survive since he is telling us this tale from the safe distance of his old age, but it is fun to see where the twisting road of his destiny will take him. This series is a bloody adventure worthy of a good season-long story arc show on premium cable.
