I picked up a copy of Lords of the North before starting a 12 hour coach journey to visit friends in The Netherlands. I was almost rude to them to be ignoring them in order to finish it.
Since then I’ve read almost all the fiction you’ve written and enjoyed it. I even have copies of much of your work as audio books which I listen to when I am working.
Uhtred is a favourite character, mixed in with many other strong characters in the Saxon series.
I am curious.. what is Uhtred’s hammer amulet made of, bone or wood? The one he snatched from around the neck of a Danish boy who tried to bully him while he worked on Ragnar the Fearless’ boats? Through each book you mention this same amulet, and it seems to change composition.
Looking forward to reading your latest War of the Wolf as I hope to unwrap it next Tuesday.
All the best.
