I felt saddened after finishing WAR LORD, the last book in your magnificent and epic Uhtred series. While enjoying (as usual) the battles, the schemings and broken oaths, I found the meeting between Uhtred and Steapa most poignant, as they realized that their best warrior days were behind them and they were in the twilight of their lives. Also, the reconciliation between Uhtred and his Bishop son turned tragic almost immediately after was heart-wrenching.
I then realized that over the years, I’ve grown old with Uhtred, since you managed to convey him to this century! I have also read almost all of your other books (Azincourt at least twice).
Thank you for sharing your great gift of history and storytelling, bringing me countless moments of literary joy.
All the best,
Henry Thaler
