A review by stormlightreader
The Pale Horseman by Bernard Cornwell
4.5
I didn't previously enjoy historical fiction until I started watching Vikings and then The Last Kingdom (which is what convinced me to pick up these books), and Cornwell is making this fictional version of England's history very entertaining.
- Things are really tough for Uhtred and he loses a lot (Iseult, his son, Leofric).
- The book sheds more light on Uhtred's loyalty to Alfred, despite Alfred's poor treatment of Uhtred.
- The battle scenes are really well written and fun to read.
