Dear Bernard,

I have enjoyed your books immensely and have read them all. However, I feel badly let down by the choice of actor that plays Uhtred. He is not how I imagine Uhtred to be and more so he is not the Uhtred of your books. The choice of actor for Alfred was perfect and spot on. Why was such a mistake made in casting Uhtred? I really am very disappointed indeed.

Dear mr Cornwell

I would like to know your opinion about the tv series of the last kingdom. Offcourse they make spectaculair tv,  but to a hardcore fan of your books the hardly do your books any justice. For example; SerpentBreath in your books she’s a beaty offcourse, but simple, intended to be a tool, but still a masterpiece to the smith who made her. In the tv series Uthred walks up to a smith and just orders a carnival sword with some shiny bauble in her heft for like 12 pieces of silver. My second grief is the fight to the death wich was ordered by king Alfred between Uhtred and Steape Snotor (one of my personal favourite characters). To my utter horror they made Uhtred fight Aelfric! . Thats where i stopt watching, started wondering if the producers actually read any off your books, and decided to read your saxon stories for the 8th time.

Last off all i like to say that i can’t wait for your next book. I’m curious how Uhtred will finally capture Bebbanburg.
