Answered a promptWhat is the worst book you have ever read?
The military part (the battles) is very good, but the rest of the plot is 4th grade (elementary school) level simplistic, basic, black&white crap... I really felt my intelligence as a reader was very strongly underestimated and offended.

As a Last Kingdom - LK (book and TV) series great fan, I was incredibly disappointed with this one - where LK is serious and dark and warrior-mindset like, this is melodrama, soap-opera/telenovella great passions and romance.
The male MC is a non-descript Mary Sue that does not seem to exist (so far from Uthred), the female MC is ridiculous and annoying and wildly-reacting to anything (plus everybody wants to rape her, that seems to be her main role in the book, rape-target), the antagonist is pumped-up nasty in a ridiculous Banderas style and so on.
The writing itself is better here than LK, but the story and characters are teenage-drama level.
The battles are very well done, but too few among the plenty passion-drama moments.
I bought the entire 4 book series at once - now they all go straight to garbage.
So, final warning: if you are a Last Kingdom fan, this is NOT for you!
