Sword of Kings
Sword of Kings: A Novel | Bernard Cornwell
9 posts | 4 read | 5 to read
The Last Kingdom series goes from strength to strength with Uhtred becoming ever more interesting - in so many ways a modern hero, facing a new world, with changing allegiances, but still held by traditional loyalties.

#12 of 13. This was good; one of my favourites. It has a shorter time frame and moves faster as a result. Uhltred and Finan are getting old, but still they rise, they out-think, and with fierce loyalty and astonishing luck, they win their battles. So glad I found this series. Uhltred and Finan will be two characters I will not forget. 4/5

“Wyrd biõ ful ãræd”

Lord Uhtred is at it again — fighting to create a country that will ultimately swallow his kingdom. And Cornwell again masterfully writes battle scenes so well that the reader is transported to the front line of a medieval shield wall. He also intricately intertwines historical fact and people with the fictitious Uhtred to embroider the steadfast March toward the creation of Engaland.

“Fate remains wholly inexorable”

Qe for the two in amazon sale.
I stopped reading the Cornwell at no 11- but he‘s just finished the series at 13 and I have to know what happens- this is no 12 ?

cozypunk Is Serpentine part of a series? Or a standalone? 3y
TrishB @dandy.punk it‘s set after His Dark Materials and features Lyra. 3y
cozypunk Ooh, neat! 3y

Mehso-so

An okay addition to the series. SoK kept me reading, but it‘s a very typical Last Kingdom series book. Cornwell didn‘t get too much out of the box for this one. Even so, it‘s a Cornwell Last Kingdom book, so it‘s still an absorbing read. I can‘t wait to read the 13th and last in the series when it comes out this fall!
