The Empty Throne

I finished up my last book, and had nothing to jump into right away. I looked at Bernard Cornwell and found that the next audiobook in the Saxon Stories series didn't even have a wait. I could check it out immediately. So, I jumped in.

This one was funny. They started out with a bit of trickery. In the end of the last book, the hero of the book series seemed close to death, but I was pretty sure that he hadn't died. The book did end abruptly, though, so I thought maybe I had been mistaken. Cornwell started out the book with Uhtred's son as the point of view character. It seemed like maybe the torch was being passed for the rest of the series. Of course, it was a trick. I liked the trick a lot, though. Someday, I'll have to steal that. Fun stuff.

The book, as usual, was interesting and fun. It was easy to get through. The kind of book that made me become a reader in the first place, and I was happy to come back to it each time I got back in my car and the audiobook started up again. So, I guess what I'm saying is that I still recommend these books. Bernard Cornwell has yet to let me down.
