strath 's review for:

The Pagan Lord by Bernard Cornwell
4.0

Sent off to the UK to get it before it comes to the US. AmazonUK delivered - I read - Cornwell delivered.

He always does.

Though it's no fun watching a great warrior begin to show his age, Cornwell satisfies as he fills in Utred's character and deftly steers him away from his own quest so that he can champion the quests of his Lords and Ladies. Does he attain what he most wants? Can he defend Alfred's legacy - a new England? Well, read the thing - you won't know until the end.

It took me 3 days to finally turn the last page and I wish it was 3 times as long.

'The Pagan Lord' earns its place on your bookshelf.
