A review by ladyars
The Pagan Lord by Bernard Cornwell

5.0

Fate is inexorable. So, as with all the books in the Saxon Stories, this one got me hooked on the first 10 pages. After some quick research to remember how the last book had ended, I was able to fully get into the newest installment of Uthred's saga and couldn't put it down until I finished it. Great battles (Shield Wall!), cunning deceptions and twists of luck told in Cornwell's delicious writing style make this a fine step in Uthred's long way to the North. The only problem is that it ended too soon!
