seacrab1 's review for:

The Pagan Lord by Bernard Cornwell

4.0

I started out thinking this was not to be as good as the first six. The drama between Uhtred and his first-born son seemed too overdramatic and forced, off-kilter to Uhtred's character. I questioned if it was merely a set-up to force the story, and I was right. But the ensuing story was great so all is forgiven!
