A review by wasted
The Burning Land by Bernard Cornwell

5.0

Preceding the upheaval that Death of Kings (Book VI) brings, the Burning Land is a leisurely yet ever brutal tale of Uhtred doing what Uhtred does best:

High Integrity? Check.
Faith in Destiny? Check.
Well then, Onward Into Countless Battles!

This is an explorative adventure throughout infant England and across its waters to Frisia (modern Netherlands / Germany). Despite what Uhtred may think, Alfred’s best interest is always in his heart no matter how far from home he may be. Love is lost, Danes are slain, and Uhtred remains in prime warrior form!
