The Pagan Lord

I went back to this well for my next book. I love to have them there as a go to any time I need a palate cleanser. I keep running into books that don't excite me like I want them to, and Bernard Cornwell's Saxon Stories series always pleases. It's a really long series, but I'm getting closer and closer to its finale. I'll be sad when I've finally made it to the end of Uhtred's story.

I got the new Brandon Sanderson book on my Audible as well, but my son wanted to listen to it right away, so I let him go at it. I didn't want to be losing his place every time I listened. Listening at the same time just doesn't work.

So, The Pagan Lord it was. This one was very interesting, and took Uhtred farther than any of the other books up until now did. In fact, the ending was even a little bit ambiguous. I wasn't quite certain what had happened to our hero at the end. All the same, it was fun and satisfying. So far, not a single one of these books has let me down. They've been great all around.
