I love The Saxon Chronicles/The Last Kingdom series. I’ve read each of the ten books at least four times, and have watched the television series on Netflix multiple times as well. I’m looking forward to seeing Uhtred’s story continued in your next book this fall, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that a third season of The Last Kingdom is coming soon. Thank you so much for sharing your extraordinary gifts with the world!

In Uhtred’s narration, he speaks of his advanced age, ailments, etc., before recalling the story he wishes to tell. He also mentions his “newest” wife at his advanced age, describing her as overly pious, overly fond of priests, and idiotic. Why would Uhtred marry such a woman?! I hope you will explain it soon because it seems so out of character. Thank you.
