Book Reviews of Sword Song: The Battle for London
Book Review: A Tragedy in Writing
Summary: 1 Stars
Cornwell's Sword Song or swan song to Uhtred's adventures is horrible. I remember wondering if he wrote this one on a plane somewhere on the way a quick vacation. It was a retread of past statements, with little new character development. The story literally felt tired, as if it were calling for a merciful end. Instead, the ending is abrupt and as surprising and contenting as a hiccup. Avoid this series after the initial text. Read something like Steven Pressfield's Greek stories or Conn Iggulden's Genghis series instead. Now those are masterful historical fiction writers. Having been recommended Cornwell by a friend, I was greatly disappointed.
