### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Worst book of the series.
  

*by J***B on Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2018*

What an unsatisfactory read. I love this series but I almost didn't finish this book. It was completely predictable and fairly boring. I had to constantly stop myself from just flipping through the pages. I connected very little with the Uhtred of this book; he was idiotic and foolish (I knew 100 pages before he did what was really going on), acted old, confused and inept, and I quickly grew tired of it. I "get" aging, but reading about someone whining about it isn't all that interesting.Favorite characters who made an appearance added nothing noteworthy to the story. Their interactions with each other fell flat. The villain was not very interesting and was just a rehash of past villains. In fact, just about all of the "new" characters were a rehash of past characters. Even Uhtred's reaction to the major event of the book was almost exactly like his reaction to a similar past event in his life. In other words, more rehash. As for the major event itself, I found it completely unnecessary unless Cornwell just wants to give Uhtred more reasons to be a miserable old man.Lastly, Cornwell left readers hanging in book 10 when Uhtred, after more than 50 years of dreaming about it, finally took back Bebbanburg. We received no insight into how that monumental event impacted Uhtred and his life. I thought leaving readers hanging was a teaser and surely Cornwell would at least mention it in the next book. Nope, not a word. Readers are left with that void.I am so very disappointed in this book. Fans of this series and of the character called Uhtred deserved far better than this limp effort.

    An older and sadder Uhtred still in fighting form
  

*by G***A on Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2018*

I've enjoyed the Uhtred series and was eagerly awaiting this new volume.  it was enjoyable but was not as engrossing as previous ones.  I think Uhtred, now in his sixties, is running out of steam or perhaps Cornwell is.  First of all,  the new villainous Norseman is much like previous villainous Norsemen, the Christian priests are still lying manipulators and the Saxons are still underhanded.  Not much new there.  Secondly, some of the fascinating characters are no longer around. Aethelflaeda has died, Edward is dying, and Skiorra.....better left unsaid.  Aethelstan is coming into his own and we know he will be the new king as soon as Edward shakes off his mortal coil but he is becoming something of a sanctimonious prig. Third, the plots are too similar...one grasping invader after another in the North and political maneuvering in the South. Of course, Cornell is only being true to history.  Now, for the positives. The action is fast paced and Uhtred is still a fascinating character, cynical, determined but sadder and older. Descriptions are vivid although I tend to skim over the bloody battles. It was a violent age and Cornwell is true in depicting this reality.  The focus this time is on Northumbria and the struggle that King Sigtryggr, Uhtred’s son-in-law, has in maintaining his rule when he is faced with the Saxons to the South, the Scots to the North, and Norsemen (recently kicked out of Ireland) in the West. Each group wants a share of Northumbria, although the Saxons really are aiming to make it part of Englalond.  Uhtred, instead of enjoying his old age, comes to Sigtryggr’s aid, first advising him to agree to an absolutely demeaning treaty with Wessex, so that for the moment they can attack the invading Norsemen led by Skoll.  Of course, the final outcome is assumed but the struggle with Wessex will u doubtedly be the focus of the next volume. The Uhtred saga is still spellbinding and gives the reader an understanding of a long ago era and the bloody birthpangs of the nation of England.,

    Next novel after The Flame Bearer in Saxon Tales
  

*by P***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2018*

Uhtred, now in his sixties, finds he is still not secure and satisfied as treachery and ambitions continue to surround him.  The Scots in Alba are licking their wounds, but Norsemen, driven out of Ireland, have established forts defending lands situated in western Northumbria.  Son-in-law Sigtryggr and daughter Stiorra rule Northumbria’s southeastern region from strongholds in Eoferwic (York),  Dunholm (Durham) and Ribelcastre (Lancashire’s Ribchester), but their forces are thinly spread.  And the Saxons are pressing northward from Mercia, where the succession is in doubt as Alfred’s son Edward is growing older and ill.  So Uhtred hardly knows where to turn next to defend Stiorra and Sigtryggr, gather forces against the growing power and ambition of Norseman King Skoll, or defeat the manipulative ambitions of Ealdorman AEthelhelm to place his weak kinsman on the Saxon throne, while Uhtred’s sworn oath – to his deceased friend AEthelflaed to always protect her son AEthelstan – ties him to support someone he knows will, if crowned, someday invade Northumbria and eventually Bebbanburg.  This book appears to be located in the overarching plot of the Saxon Tales as transition from Flame Bearer to the next installment of this fascinating warrior’s life story.  Write on! friend Cornwell.
