Review - Sword of Kings (The Last Kingdom Series, Book 12) by Bernard Cornwell

 

Sword of Kings 

(The Last Kingdom Series, Book 12) 

By Bernard Cornwell 

 

England is in turmoil as Vikings and Saxons battle for territory. Rumours build about the fatal sickness of the King, and the country awaits an heir.

A violent clash at sea forces the warrior lord Uhtred to lead his men from his Northumbrian fortress to London and plunge into the eye of the storm. For two kings claim the empty throne, and a new kingdom cannot be born without bloodshed.

Uhtred’s sword will leave one king dead and the other victorious. But sometimes it is hard to know the will of the gods…

Review:

What can I say that has not already been said? This series is really amazing. Unfortunately, I now have a bit of a wait for Book 13. Should I watch the TV show now or later? I was hoping to read all the books before I watched The Last Kingdom, but I am just not sure I can live that long without Uhtred in my life!
