A century ago the Skagosi unsuccessfully rebelled against the Starks, costing the lives of Lord Barthogan Stark and hundreds of his supporters. [16] Robert's Rebellion I had a taste for this kind of madness. In madness lies change, in change is opportunity and in opportunity are riches”
Finished The Lords of the North, the third instalment of The Saxon Stories, otherwise called The Last Kingdom due to the TV adaptation. This book forms the first half of what Season 2 is compiled from, so makes up the first five episodes. Very different to the first two instalments of this series, The Lords of the North explored new settings and political situations, exploring the situation of Northumbria in contrast to Wessex where the majority of The Last Kingdom and The Pale Horseman take place, despite still strongly linking to each other and the wider through line of the series. This was a refreshing change but one that overall I feel had greater potential. We all have fear. It crawls inside you like a beast, claws at your gut, it weakens your muscles, it tries to loosen your bowels and it wants you to cringe and weep, but fear must be thrust away and craft must be loosed, and savagery will see you through, and though many men have tried to kill me and so earn the boast that they killed Uthred, so far that savagery has let me survive and now, I think, I am too old to die in battle and so will dribble away to nothingness instead.

In just a few books time, Uhtred is already in his mid to late forties. I wonder how they will handle this on the screen with the actor being so young. He also looks a little bit too much like Jon Snow for my liking. The people of the north must be vigilant against wildlings who manage to bypass the Wall.

Snowblind Studios. The Lord of the Rings: The War in the North. WB Games. Level/area: The Barrow-downs. Farin: I'm told the Barrow-downs are filled with ancient tombs. What do you know of them elf? / Andriel: These tombs were made by the Fathers of Men in the depths of time. They were sacred to the men of Arnor, and they too buried their dead here until their kingdom fell to the Witch-king. / Eradan: These hills have an evil reputation in the folklore of the Shire and Bree, but Rangers travel here often without incident. Still, I feel a sense of...unease. We must stay alert. I started reading Cornwell after watching “The Last Kingdom” on Netflix. Apparently I’ve been living a sheltered life, because I haven’t read any Cornwell before – but “The Warrior” or “The Saxon” chronicles, depending on what continent you’re on, are just one great read after another.
