Auto Draft

I would like to begin by stating my husband and I are big fans.  We just finished binge reading books 5 through 10.  We loved them!  I love the story line, the characters, and how the story line continues from one book to the next one.

 

I recently finished book 10 and noticed something that bothered me.  There appears to be a conflict between two of the books:

 

“The Empty Throne” (book 8) pages 86-87 state:  “Ingulfrid was married to a cousin of mine, another Uhtred, the son of my uncle who had usurped Bebbanburg.  She had chosen to stay with us when I failed to capture that fortress.  Her son had been with her, but Osferth had sent the boy back to his father.  I would have cut the little bastard’s throat, but I had given the gift of his life to Osferth and he had been generous.”

 

“The Flame Bearer”  (book 10) pages 40-41 state:  “We had captured my cousin’s son, a mere boy, and I had let Osferth, one of my trusted men, look after both him and his mother, who had been taken captive with her son.  Mother and son had both died of a plague the year before, but inevitably men said that I had poisoned them,.  He died of the sweating fever, I said, and so did thousands of other in Wessex.”

 

I hope Uhtred’s story continues (soon) and I look forward to reading the next book in the Saxon series.  If you ever need another editor, I volunteer!

 

A fan,
