Hi Bernard,

hope life is good..

I’ve noticed Uhtred increasingly looks for omens, and by War of The Wolf he’s more superstitious than previously.

By the time he prepares to take revenge on Skoll he’s searching for omens everywhere, and feels cursed.

What was it do you feel that is making Uthred increasingly superstitious? Could it be his increased age and a sense of judgement day approaching?

I find it fascinating how you have given your character such depth that there is a sense of increased vulnerability within him..

This is one of the finest series of historical novels I’ve read.

Thanks so much for writing them.

Best wishes

Toby
