Review

Praise for The Lords of the North:

‘Beautifully crafted story-telling, complete with splendid set-piece battles and relentless derring-do, so gripping that it rarely stops to catch a breath. It demonstrates once again Cornwell’s enormous skill as a historical narrator. He would have graced Alfred’s court entertaining the guests with his stories’ Daily Mail

‘Cornwell takes the spectres of ninth century history and puts flesh back on their bones. Here is Alfred's world restored – impeccably researched and illuminated with the colour and passion of a master storyteller.’
Justin Pollard, author of ‘Alfred the Great’

Praise for Bernard Cornwell:

'Bernard Cornwell is a literary miracle. Year after year, hail, rain, snow, war and political upheavals fail to prevent him from producing the most entertaining and readable historical novels of his generation' Daily Mail

'Cornwell's narration is quite masterly and supremely well-researched' Observer

I could not put this book down; a romping good yarn and a fabulous history lesson. This story has everything; adventure, bravery, cowardice, greed, sacrifice, loyalty, betrayal, honour, romance and humour. Bernard Cornwell brings to life the Saxon stories and the making of England. The hero, Uhtred of Bebbanburg is my new 'book boyfriend'. I can't wait to start reading 'Sword Song'.

Another great addition to the series

14 February 2018

Format: Kindle Edition

I love this series and this book is again right up there with the first two. The characters are fantastic, the dialog believable, funny, gruesome and entertaining. I have 7 more books left in the series, but I’m hoping Cornwell will write more!

Nail biting ending

Format: Kindle Edition

Thrilling and riveting as the last two books. I am rushing through this review so that I can begin the next book. Brilliant! "I shall tan your skin and make it into a saddle so that I can fart on you till the end of time" (or words to that effect)!

Excellent book - I highly recommend it - Cornwell is becoming my favorite historical novel author

9 May 2016 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

I'm on my third series by Cornwell. This is my favorite, which truly surprises me since I'm not really into this era for historical fiction. It's surprising but completely understandable simply because this is some fine writing. The characters are complex and believable as is the plot. The characters and the plot are well thought out and well written so that I experience total immersion in the story. Cornwell has certainly suspended my disbelief. One of the most annoying aspects of serial historical novels is the determined retelling of past events the characters have lived in previous stories. I know you know what I mean. Somehow I guess authors feel the necessity to engage in this type of storytelling. Cornwell has found the correct balance of retelling where it makes sense and is useful to the current story in this series. Cornwell is rapidly becoming my favorite historical novel author. I highly recommend Lords of the North and his work in the Sharpe series, the Grail Quest series and the Saxon tales series. As always, I recommend you start with the first book and read through. This is hours of inexpensive entertainment.

Incomparable Uhtred

I started reading Cornwell after watching "The Last Kingdom" on Netflix. Apparently I've been living a sheltered life, because I haven't read any Cornwell before - but "The Warrior" or "The Saxon" chronicles, depending on what continent you're on, are just one great read after another.

This is book three in the series, and we've got Uhtred, with the loyal Hild, in Northumbria, all ready to take vengeance for the wrongs that were done to him in book one, and seeking his missing sister. But, not surprisingly, many an adventure will occur first - new wrongs, an unforeseen betrayal that takes him far away from his goal, new loyalties, and always new battles.

I love the well-articulated stress between Christianity and traditional Danish beliefs that permeates the series. Cornwell also does an excellent job of bringing up the violence and ignorance endemic of the times. You get an exceptional contemporary history lesson as well as a well-written story that's difficult to put down.

Ahhh...no pain no gain for Uthred!

24 October 2017 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

As I had mentioned on my prior reviews, the TV series had piqued my interest to read the book, because most adaptations would delete the long details of storytelling and change the script. I wanted to find out if there was more to Uthred’s background rather than the fast-forward version on TV. I had learned that Aethelred (Alfred’s daughter’s betrothed) was Uthred’s cousin and Hild (the nun) was his lover after Iseult died. Also, Gisela (Guthred’s sister) was kind of a fortuneteller, and she had foreseen the life she would have with Uthred and the types of children they would bear together. 😊

Well, this third installment entailed how Uthred defiantly disobeyed Alfred’s edict and the consequences he would deal for his action. Like a petulant child, he travelled to North to regain his entitlement as the rightful King of Bebanburg, but of course, The Three Fates had already weaved his fate in a path that he would always be tangled in inexorable mishaps between the Danes and Christianity. A very tough road to tread on, but his hardships defined him as a great warrior.

Incredible fantasy

I have literally Fallen madly in love with the character of uhtred of bebbanburg. I actually even dreamt I was a princess and I came to meet him LOL the story writing is compelling it's intriguing it's intense it sucks you in like a vacuum cleaner I don't know any other words to describe it. The writing is phenomenal. You ever heard of the term ABC format? That is how Bernard Rite he writes in a manner that is easy for everyone to understand no matter how young or old I guess you could say. I've read novels from other writers and their sentences are just too complex and everything is a large word that you got to go and get a dictionary so that you can understand. But Bernard is just very simple and basic and personal and it's easy writing easy understanding and I love large print the large print versions of of this series are phenomenal they have a good feel in the hands they're very flexible they're not stiff and even though I've completed the entire series I intend to one day read them all over again.

Absolutely Brilliant

Absolutely Brilliant

Love love this series, I can't get enough. Ulthred and Ragnar are my heroes. I was totally glued to the book from Ulthreds enslavement to the all the battles in the end. I even got emotional at the end when Ragnar got his revenge and reunited with his sister. Just Wow! What a powerful moment. I loved all the Viking bantering and was mind blown with the actions of the Christian Monks, sorry to say it but I was happy that two of them got what they deserved - death. I believe this book really depicts how Christianity was really like when it began to spread or should I say how it was forced upon everyone. Yeah, it turned my stomach at their ignorance.

I highly recommend this book and I have become a big fan of this Author. I can't wait to read the other books in this series.
