I also have to say I was pretty pleased with how much Uhtred is reigning in his douchey, selfish, macho murderous impulses. There were a couple of his actions in The Pale Horseman that really made me bummed out and disturbed at the fact that I was rooting for this person, and his moral code is still kinda fluid in this one but I can really see him slowly turning to being an honorable, honest person and I dig it. I do like some good anti-hero action but I don't wanna hang out with a guy for 6+ books who's prone to doing that kind of stuff. Unlike the previous Egyptian toponyms, Baal-Zephon has a Semitic etymology. Baal is common to many Semitic languages and means “lord,” a term often used for a god. The name, Baal, was used during the Old Babylonian period for a variety of deities including Marduk (bel) but is perhaps best known from the Bible as an epithet for the northwest Semitic storm-god (Hadad/Adad).

North's reputation among historians has varied wildly, reaching its lowest point in the late 19th century, when he was depicted as a creature of the king and an incompetent who lost the American colonies. In the early 20th century, a revised view emerged which emphasised his strengths in administering the Treasury, handling the House of Commons, and in defending the Church of England. Historian Herbert Butterfield, however, argued that his indolence was a barrier to efficient crisis management; he neglected his role in supervising the entire war effort.

We also got more Ragnar (yay) but I still miss and grieve Leofric. Finan is cool but NOT a worthy replacement (and clearly he is meant as a replacement).

The third instalment in Bernard Cornwell's King Alfred series, follows on from the outstanding previous novels The Last Kingdom and The Pale Horseman. This is the third in the Warrior Chronicles/Saxon Stories series and am still loving it! Uhtred is a blood-lusting arrogant ass with a cruel streak but also a redeeming goodness (which seems contradictory but you just gotta read for it to make sense). 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.

On 15 April 1754, North, then 22, was elected unopposed as the member of parliament for the constituency of Banbury. [11] He served as an MP from 1754 to 1790 and joined the government as a junior Lord of the Treasury on 2 June 1759 during the Pitt–Newcastle ministry (an alliance between the Thomas Pelham-Holles, 1st Duke of Newcastle and William Pitt the Elder). He soon developed a reputation as a good administrator and parliamentarian and was generally liked by his colleagues. Although he initially considered himself a Whig, he did not closely align with any of the Whig factions in Parliament, and it became obvious to many contemporaries that his sympathies were largely Tory. [12] [2] This was a good but slightly weaker volume compared to its predecessors. It’s so good to finally meet Sihtric and Finan for the first time, though. Snowblind Studios. The Lord of the Rings: The War in the North. WB Games. Level/area: Map. The Shire: The Shire is the homeland of the Hobbits, but it was once part of the Dúnedain kingdom of Arnor. The land was given to the Hobbits some 1400 years past and they made it their own after the kingdom of Men fell to ruin. The Hobbits of the Shire are isolated from the rest of the world and prefer it that way. They are left in peace for the most part, thanks to the constant vigilance of the Rangers.I love a good tale of revenge. I always find that they have some of the most intense plots; they always seem to rush past before my eyes. And it was good to finally see Uhtred set out on his own, with his own goal, with his own men, with his own quest for bloody revenge.
