Product ReviewsCustomers have given Sword Song an average customer review rating of 4.0 out of 5. The latest reviews have been displayed below. Exellent again. The sequal to 'The Last Kingdom' 'The Pale Horseman' and 'Lords of the North'. This may be the best book yet as there is a major fight as Uhtred and Steapa and others take London and you dont have to wait til the end of the book. New Vikings have arrived from Norway and it is up to Uhtred to save the Kingdom. King Alfreds daughter is now married to Uhtreds cousin and in a twist of fate her very existence becomes a threat to King Alfred and Uhtred must decide who's side he is really on as he decides the whole future of England. This book tells the story of the making of England and is based on real events. A gripping story of love, deceit and lots of violence told through the eyes of Uhtred, Alfreds 'Lord of War'.The next installement is due out on 5th Oct 2009. 9thcentury fascination Bernard Cornwell has a way of drawing you into his stories, having read all 4 in this series and most of the Sharpe series I developed a desire to know more of this period to the extent that I am now doing Ancient History and Archaeology at Uni. I certainly don't doze off reading his 'histories' but I certainly do my archaeology text, that is till I find something on my fav periods - Roman - Saxon - Viking occupation of Britain. He brings the status of warriors to the fore and illustrates the fragility of 'honour' - being sold into slavery to appease another warlord is a harsh reality but not uncommon for the period. 'Destiny is inexorable' - you can't outrun your fate, everything happens for a reason and this series shows that beautifully. No matter how you try to deviate from the path - it draws you back. When is the next installment. 'I was death come from the morning' 'Sword Song' is set in a 9th century England divided between the Saxon kingdom of Wessex in the south and the Danish kingdom of the north. As in the preceding three novels, Uhtred dominates this story. While his heroic actions are generally physical, his capacity to analyse situations and act quickly endow him with some very attractive leadership qualities. I enjoy the action in these novels and while I have a different mental picture of Alfred the Great, I can accept the picture as painted through Uhtred's eyes. These are good novels in an historical setting, and breathe life into a time long past. Highly recommended. Jennifer Cameron-Smith Do you need to buy a new car Mr Cornwell? Bernerd Cornwell is a great authour but he does have his off books. This is one of them. Once again Cornwell is the master storyteller but the book lacks any momentum. The finnish feels like the begining. Considering how short this book is, i wonder if Bernerd wants to buy an Aston Martin and needs some quick cash. Instead of buying this, off a similar genre (and far better) are Conn Iggulden's latest books. Very poor, please reddem yourself with a better sequal. Not as good as it could be Having rushed out to buy this latest installment of Uhtred, I was a bit disappointed by it. After the first three, with their battles and scenes of Saxon & Danish life in Angland(England), this book just didn't have the same appeal. Uhtred seems to have almost settled down in Wessex,and that's not what I wanted. Submit Your ReviewTo submit your review of Sword Song you must first login / register.
