Like the author, its one of a series, so having read the others l couldn't leave this one out, l wanted to see how everything turned out. Being a history buff, novels like this are right up my alley. King Alfred is the only king in England ever to be called the 'great'. lf he had lost against the Danes English history would have taken an entirely different road. The characters in the book are very believeable , and you get caught up in it from the very begining.
Im hooked on this series of books. They are violent in places , but then its about a violent time in our history.Strange though it may seem I have found , locally , another reader to pass it on to who loves the story as much as me and she's a lot older than me and Im a 61 year young woman. The books were good value for money and in good condition although second hand. I'm very happy with my purchase.
