I’ve just finished reading War Lord, the 13th and final book in The Last Kingdom series and what a read it was. They say some books are “un put downable”. Well that phrase was invented for this series. At the age of 55 I was made redundant on 1/4/16 after 39 years at Ferrybridge ‘C’ Power Station and some would say that was a sad time. Well not me because that’s when I bought a Kindle and one of the free books I downloaded was The Last Kingdom. After an initial struggle with some of the names I got into the meat of the book and was hooked. I bought the next 5 books straight after finishing and have subsequently bought all the rest. The word thank you does not do justice to your writing talents Bernard as your words are like a masters paintings and I’m not eloquent enough to wax lyrical about them. Suffice to say you’ve awoken a yearning in me to learn about the history of England and the wider world. THANK YOU.
