I know Bernard Cornwell Last Kingdom books aren’t fantasy but are they worth reading ???

Yeah pretty decent, but can leave a gap between each one. Tend to follow a similar plot each time so can be read almost as standalone. Historical info is pretty decent too and he tells you where he has changed things
Cheers they’re on offer & have some spare credit.
Good fast paced reading.
I love them… ?
They are but I would say that the Warlord Chronicles (Arthurian) were more like fantasy books – there’s a fair bit of magic in them 🙂
It’s very low key but. Not like there’s fireballs flying around and such.
True – all of it could be explained by trickery and coincidence – but I was thinking the other day that it’s still his most fantasy like series
I’d agree – prefer the warlord chronicles tbh but both are a decent read
He does it brilliantly though because while you could argue it’s magic. From the view of the characters it’s a naturally occurring series of incidents. But yeah. Not sure that makes sense ?. Either way I’m a fan of Cornwall. His Sharpe novels are great too.
Yeah I liked how he did it, great series and great characters. Sharpe also decent but similar to last kingdom in being a bit formulaic. Again enjoy the history lessons that come with them 🙂
I loved them. Very good and an interesting time in English history.
Very much worth reading. I’d suggest reading anything Bernard Cornwell writes.
I loved them. Just finished the last one. Danes, saxons, shield walls!!
netflix series is good didn’t know they were books but should have guessed Hollywood cant come up with their own ideas lol
I enjoyed them
Good books
