Uhtred is so unlikeable, I prefer his character in the TV adaptation. Also Bernard did we really need multiple women getting raped throughout the book? 
Father Pyrlig steals every scene he’s in

motherbeetle's review against another edition

Love the story but could not get past the immense amount of sexual violence. I kept reading to see if it would get better but it just got worse. A real shame, this would be a near 5 star series for me without it.
