No Guts, No Glory: A Review of "The Last Kingdom" by Bernard Cornwell

    "The Last Kingdom" by Bernard Cornwell is truly exemplary historical fiction. In Uhtred Cornwell has created a compelling protagonist, who lives through some of the most turbulent times in English history. This book has all the blood and guts you'd expect from a book about vikings. (WARNING: this book is definitely not for the faint of heart.)

Also, I've just read that this book is being to be made into a show, so that's pretty cool.

That look is the definition of smolder

    I'm pretty excited to watch the new show based on this book (which seems to be going for a sort of Game of Thrones vibe), and I definitely intend to read the next book in the series "The Pale Horseman."
    "The Last Kingdom" is filled with adventure, and is an example of historical fiction at its finest. Plus, you know Vikings.
