    In the beginning..

    Starts at the same exact place as the Netflix series does. There are 15 books in the series and apparently (from what I've been seeing) the last 3 books will take place in 1 movie. That means the 5 seasons on Netflix spans 12 books! Can't imagine how much of the books were left out in the series. I've only just begun to read the book but can't wait to get time to dive in further!

    condition of product, not very good

    this is about the condition of the book not the content, the content is great i love it. but the condition of the book is very bad it looks like someone dipped the book in water, very unhappy with that because now it just feels gross to hold

  • A solid beginning. I eagerly begin book 2.

    I became a fan of Mr. Cornwall's work with the "Grail Quest Trilogy". This is the first book that I have read of his since those 3 wonderful works. I have not been disappointed. This story is a wonderful telling of history from a first person past tense point of view. A man looking back over his life and explaining the history of the invasion of England by the Dane's. Entirely accurate from what I have learned in my studies of the Vikings and the middle ages, the book is like a history book come alive. There is no boring or tedious description of place or person, rather the information provided is of historic value or is necessary to move the plot forward. A wonderful beginning to a trilogy that I look forward to finishing. I am beginning book 2 as soon as I finish writing this review. ...

I STARTED LOOKING FOR A NEW AUTHOR AND I HAVE FOUND ONE IN BERNARD CORNWELL. I CAN'T WAIT TO READ ALL OF HIS BOOKS. AND YOU CAN NOT FIND A BETTER BUY THEN ON EBAY!!!!!

  • First book in a series

    Takes you back to 866 and the formation of England. Well written without so many characters that you lose track of who is doing what to whom. I did find the series on Netflix which helped me pronounce all of the names of the characters. The book is much better than the Netflix series though which is sort of slow. If you are an historical fiction fan, I would recommend this series to you. I am reading the second in the series now.
