. . . promises well-drawn characters embroiled in a clash of cultures as in the 9th Century England the Danes increase their invasions of the vulnerable, divided country of Saxon Uhtred, second son of not-so-beloved Earl Uhtred of Bebbanburg (Bamburg Castle, Northumbria). The story spans roughly the second decade of Uhtred’s life as he moves through the events that destroy his family, remove him from his rightful heritage, and change him from reluctant Christian to happier Dane to blissful Saxon again. He survives a battle at age 12, murderous treachery of his uncle at age 16, and eventually enters service to King Alfred, the Saxon kind of Wessex, as the other Saxon kingdoms of Northumbria and Mercia fall to the Danish invasion. Readers will enjoy immersion into both Saxon and Danish cultures, appreciating the contrasts in values. Readers will enjoy the relationships Uhtred establishes with Ragnar, with Brida his companion, then with the Saxon king Alfred. The surprises are there, for Uhtred, for Alfred, and for the reader. Readers will, more than anything, enjoy Cornwell’s depiction of everyday 9th Century life, of his characters and their depths, and, especially the astounding battle scenes, all the while appreciating Uhtred’s awareness of the foolishness of some of his youthful decisions and the hazards he risks his life with, often unnecessarily. We especially admire the complexity of our human predecessors’ lives as Cornwell presents them, fulfilling the promises of the Prologue with a great story.
I'm still in the glow of living vicariously in Uhtred's world. I can't begin to tell exactly why this story affected me so deeply, except to say that the author did everything right. He lost no time making me care about the main character, just a child at the beginning of the story. Within the first dozen pages, I was hooked, invested in the story--wanting to know more, and needing to know young Uhtred's fate.The narration is first person, and occasionally, throughout the story, the narrator intrudes, addressing the reader directly. While in some books, this doesn't work, in The Last Kingdom, it worked so well, I anticipated when it would happen, and I looked forward to it. Each time, it upped the tension just a knot. Another thing that worked incredibly well was that this entire book is told by Uhtred as an old man, sharing the tale of his life, looking back on events--An incredibly entertaining stroll through 9th century, English history mingled with a few fictional characters. Outstanding read.
Great story of Vikings invading what will be a future England. It was such a pleasure to read a book with pieces of real history, real people and real places, in it. I loved the fact that author did not try to make a fictional main character, Uthred, a contemporary humanitarian but gave him a perky, mischievous and often cruel personality fitting the Viking image. I also loved the sense of humor, although, most of the time it was a black humor. But I could not help laughing while reading about, otherwise tragic, end of Prince Edmund. There is a lot of carnage in this book (after all it is a book about a war) but only some of the gruesome details are described, so reader is not swamped with too many horror images.The reasons for 4 stars instead of 5 are: 1) Too many battles. It may be a plus for other readers but once I read about fighting in “shield wall†I did not need to read about it again and again. 2) I had problem placing many people with similar-sounding names starting with “ash†and figuring out how they are related.There is actually a map at the beginning at the book and list of places and names but I missed it since my kindle opened on first chapter and I just started reading. So my advise to readers is; do not miss map and list, they are very helpful.I liked very much author’s Amazon web page that, by itself, is a great story told with a great humor.I think I will try next a book from different series by this author (hoping for fewer battles).
I love reading epic fantasy, most especially when the story is somewhat based on history. My inclination to read this book is due to the TV series. My interest is piqued to find out more about the life of the male protagonist, Uthred, since the TV adaptation covers only the best highlights of the story. This book entails the life of Uthred at age 10 to 20 during the war of Danes and England around 866 to 877 A.D. The POV is from Uthred himself. The story has developed and progressed the way I have expected it to be...in chronological order since it is based on history. The names of places and characters are a bit hard for me to pronounce or even remember, and so I have jotted them down (like Alfred who is constantly writing, LOL) for reference in my future reading. I have enjoyed reading this book. I am excited to read the next installment and find out more of Uthred's destiny.
“The Last Kingdom†is fun and easy-to-read, well-written and brings to life King Alfred’s battles with the Vikings. Much of this book parallels the TV series "The Vikings." I would recommend this book for the young adult crowd who has enjoyed the “Harry Potter†series. For serious readers of historical fiction, however, I would suggest they look elsewhere. The language, style and subject matter are designed for a sixteen year-old male readership; there are no feminine voices in the novel; and the treatment of history is superficial.
