Just finished Warriors of the Storm and enjoyed it immensely. The whole book has a rather “fictional feel” to it and it is a marvelous story. What I like most are the dialogues involving Uhtred. He seems to outthink, outmanouvre, outsmart and outjoke, everybody. And surely, if he existed, it would have been down to Uhtred that Englaland was created and therefore Uhtred should be named Uhtred the Great, a great honour if you choose to name him when you complete the series. Just a brief opinion about the TV production – I’m afraid it is way off, although the acting is decent enough, it lacks Uhtred’s wit and humour, the dialogues are a bit too serious. Only watched 4 episodes so far, perhaps it shall improve. I wonder if it is coincidence that Top British writers like yourself, Conn and Angus, create superb historical fiction whilst the American authors stick to Dungeons & Dragons type fantasy. Prefer the “historical” any day.
