Executive Summary: I'm still enjoying this series as can be inferred from my rating, but I'm eager for things to reach a conclusion soon.
Full Review
This was another quick easy read. It doesn't really stand out as anything special among the rest of the series, but still enjoyable nonetheless. Uthred is great and all, but what keeps me going in the series is some of the supporting cast. Finan, Aethelflaed, and most recently his kids.
Uthred is getting old though. I'd like to see him finish up his adventures in another book or two. I only have 1 more left to catch up, and I don't think it's the last. I am starting to hope he doesn't keep dragging this out a bit longer. The ending of this book seemed to go by pretty quick. I was starting to wonder how things would get wrapped up by the end, or if they would be left on a cliffhanger. I was surprised at how well he did bring the book to a close.
All that would make it sound like I didn't like the book, but I blew through it in only a few sessions. If not for getting busy in the middle, I'd have likely finished this in 3 days.
Overall this was a solid entry in the series, that hopefully inches things a bit closer to the end, albeit not as much as I would have hoped.
