Second book is still very good. Uhtred is supporting Alfred in spite of what he thinks of him. His dark witchy woman becomes a Christian. His wife leaves him. Big battle at the end. Very readable for me.

Random book from our personal library.

“It is a lot easier to be brave when you know you have no alternative.“

I can use this book in my classroom to teach children about viking culture, friendship, courage and growth. There are a lot of important themes presented in this story that can teach children a bunch of timeless messages.

This book allowed authors to explore “what if“ questions about society because it creates a world where dragons are a normal animal living in people's towns. People ride and train dragons in this world, where in our reality this is not the norm. The book challenges the idea of what if dragons lived in your city and people rode them around.

Started second book in series. Don‘t know if I will read all of them, but they seem good to me.

Good story of English youth adopted by the invading Danes and then serving King Alfred of the last free area in the south of England in late 800s. I will read more.
