Hey Bernard,

Over the past few months I’ve started reading your last kingdom series, its been a major driving force in reading becoming a big hobby for me. I just recently finished Warriors of the storm so I don’t have many books left to go until the end!

One of my favorite recurring characters so far has definitely been Haesten but I guess I won’t be seeing him anymore! I was curious did you always plan for him to die in the way he did? I was hoping he would last until the end of the series and become one of Uhtred’s final challenges, especially until at least this point I think he was the most recurring antagonist and always managed to find a way to escape.

I also recently took a trip to Chester while reading Warriors of the storm so it was really interesting to be able to walk along the roman wall and then have characters mention it in the book.

I also loved the final confrontation between Cnut and Uhtred, the whole battle was so intense and the ending to Pagan Lord has been my favorite so far.

At least up until the point I am at in the series there always seems to be a one on one fight at the end of each book, without giving spoilers past Warriors of the storm if possible what are your favorite 1 on 1 confrontations you have written?  My two personal favorites are Ragnar vs Kjartan & Uhtred vs Cnut.

I’m excited to finish off reading the rest of the series and to see what happens to Uhtred. I look forward to hopefully hearing from you but I understand you are busy! I love the series!

Kind Regards

Kurtis
