Dear Bernard, Many thanks for “The Last Kingdom”. I just finished it (within about 3 days) and I think it is your best yet, though I cannot claim to have read every one of your books. It has all your usual pace, historical accuracy and admixture of joy and anguish, but for me this had something extra special. I very much look forward to reading the sequel. May the brew of Kvasir continue to inspire you! Kind regards, Chris
