Please keep all discussion and speculation to the events of Part One.

No spoiler tags required. Though it would be highly appreciated if you Uncheck Add to my Update Feed to avoid accidentally spoiling things for your good read friends.

Please do not discuss events from later sections/books. Referring back to events from a previous book is fine.

Kat | 1178 comments Starting now. Only on page one, but already feels soooo good to be back!


Ctgt | 629 comments Started yesterday, you're right...fell right back in to the style. Was trying to remember other sea battles in the series but can't pinpoint if there were any. I know he was enslaved as a rower for a while but not sure of any real battles.
Anyway, Uhtred is up to his old tricks again.

Kat | 1178 comments I thoroughly enjoyed the sea battle!

I went through a phase of reading Hornblower and Bolitho, so I reeaally dig battleships with sails, and good descriptions of their use. Cornwell just does the battles so well, I can SMELL them!


Ctgt | 629 comments Interesting little twist with Wistan's real identity.

Kat | 1178 comments Yes! I’m currently outside Faefresham. Marveling at how well trained Uhtred’s men are, when he ordered the wolf trap.

Kat | 1178 comments Soooooo, it looks like Uhtred will be going to Wiltshire?

Or is he going to sail to Lundene first?
