I’m sure this is a little bit sad but Uhtred has been with me every day since November! I started to read whilst on holiday in Tenerife and I’ve just finished book 11. I’m missing his company. Please write a very long story next time!

I enjoy the female roles. I’m trying to think which one I’d have liked best. Brida sounded fun but turned bitter. Ethelflaed became pious. Stiorra died too soon. I think Hilde is my favourite although Mus needs more story.

Isn’t it strange how these fictional and long gone (if they were real) people can be so influential and interesting.
