This is a hefty tome weighing in at just over 680 pages. A BIG read!
But for an epic like this it flows beautifully and is so readable that it carries you along like a longboat cutting through a fjord. It has big ,well written, battles,backstabbing Lords and Ladies, political intrigue and a thoroughly likeable hero with a flaw and his cheeky trusty sidekick. I was happy to learn that this is the second book in this series, so much so I went and bought the first. Although it vey subtly alludes to the heroes past (first story) make no mistake this is a brilliant standalone novel.
If you love The Last Kingdom, Game of Thrones and Vikings TV series then this is the book for you.
Definitely recommended
A great read!
