ejrathke 's review for:
Sword of Kings
by Bernard Cornwell
Uhtred keeps getting older but he keeps getting dragged into wars to protect England, which is something he doesn't even necessarily want to exist.
The series is kind of repetitive and kind of dumb but it's also just so much fun. It's intoxicating to follow Uhtred around, watch him make mistakes, watch him come through in the end. And this one was no different.
Uhtred's son, Uhtred, largely disappeared from the narrative a few books ago and I find that too bad. There's a narrowing cast of characters, which makes sense. Most of the people Uhtred has known have died and so his view of the world keeps getting smaller as everyone keeps dying.
Which is an interesting aspect to the series that I don't see commented upon.
