Why read it?
1 author picked Sword of Kings as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a continuation of Cornwell's incredible saga of Uhtred of Bebbanburg and the birth of England more than a millennia ago.
If you've never read a Cornwell book, be prepared for a gritty, bloody, and historically accurate description of life and death in that savage era. The Uhtred of this novel has grown older and wiser over the years but finds himself entangled in the intrigues and battles of the royal families.
I've read every one of the titles in this series.
