So, I was very excited to read this book. Fans of historical fiction, exciting adventure tales, and war stories alike will enjoy The Last Kingdom.Ībout ten years ago, I read Stonehenge by Cornwell, and loved it.

This thrilling first installment in Cornwell's series takes readers through seas, into forts, and into the moments that were key to forming England as we know it. Ready to reclaim his land, Uhtred risks it all for a father he never got the chance to know. Narrated by Uhtred, a nobleman captured as a child and raised by the Danes, The Last Kingdom tracks 9th and 10th century England, under the rule of Alfred of the Great and his descendants as they fend off the Danish Vikings who have occupied three of England's four kingdoms.Īs Uhtred is forced to choose between his Danish upbringing and his English blood, he navigates love, war, and an assault on England's final kingdom. In The Last Kingdom, Bernard Cornwell turns the historical fiction genre on its head by taking existing, but near-forgotten, records of his ancestors, and crafting a narrative both riveting and nuanced.
