I’m thrilled to say I’m part of the final book’s tour for this series. Thanks to Rachel’s Random Resources and Boldwood Books for the gifted ebook to write my honest review.
The final, thrilling instalment in MJ Porter’s The Brunanburh Series.
Can King Edmund of the English banish the Norse invaders from England one final time?
AD942
In the wake of the agreement reached at Lincoln between Edmund and Anlaf Sihtricson of the Norse, Edmund returns to Wessex to reflect and rebuild, impatient to reverse his losses at Lincoln.
But this is the winter of discontent. In Jorvik and the kingdom of the Scots, those who’ve waited too long to become kings in their own right grow restless.
As the enemies of the English turn on themselves, Edmund senses the opportunity to reclaim all his brother, the victor of Brunanburh, managed to gain before his untimely death plunged England back into war with her many foes.
With his sights set firmly on York, can he recreate the England his brother built, or will the enemies of England realise the error of their ways and once more unite to drive Edmund back to Wessex, leaving York in the hands of the Norse.
A thrilling conclusion to MJ Porter’s epic retelling of the consequences of the battle of Brunanburh.
I can’t believe this is the fourth and final book in this series. I have read everyone, and this book is double-edged for me. On the one hand, I was so looking forward to reading Kings Of Conflict. On the other, I knew it meant the end of the Brunanburh Series.
I did attempt to slow my reading down just to make this book last longer. Needless to say, it didn’t work. MJ Porter’s skill in weaving a realistic and immersive story tends to suck me in so fast. I was eager to find out how it would all work out.
Told from multiple perspectives, which is always good, for me anyway. I like to have a nice overview of what’s happening. It is another action-packed tale. I do appreciate MJ Porter’s attention to detail. It creates such authenticity, I always feel like I could be there with all the characters!
The research has to be immense, and it shows. I never can tell the fact from the fiction when I read a MJ Porter novel, whichever series it is. I’m looking forward to the next series anyway.
