Mr. Cornwell, I have just finished “The Burning Land” and wanted to drop you a note to say that I am enthralled by your writing style. This is such a well researched set of books and the “first-person” angle from Uhtred’s point of view just adds to the story. There is such excitement and intrigue in the history of how the kingdoms came together, but the use of this character narrative adds in the human elements of pain, love, indecision, rage, and so many other emotions. I am sucked into each one of the books that I read. I did not discover you until I moved to Ireland this fall and in about 3 months I have gone through the entire Saxon series. Please hurry with the next installment!! Thank you for these great accounts, I cannot wait to start working through the rest of your series. All the best in this Christmas season, Chris Labadie Co.
