And so the seven book saga of Ulfrick Ormsson has come to a close and left me feeling both triumphant and hollow. I already miss falling asleep at night to a world in which Ulfrick exists and ever battles against turmoil for glory and plunder.
If you've read my reviews of the previous books you'll no doubt know that I love these books and the finale is no exception. My one gripe is that this book went on five chapters too long. After Ulfrick is victorious one last time the book should've ended. However it creeps on summarizing the elderly Ulfrick's final years which I found boring and stupid. I feel it detracts from the ending and is unnecessary. I also beg Jerry Autieri to write many more books following Ulfrick's descendants. No, I demand it!
These books are all around really great and are a true literary adventure!
HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Actually really liked this whole series, great for any one who is interested in our history when times we all about Gold and Glory. Or even if you just want a change up from what you regularly read, this is a good choice.

5 Stars for all 7 books!!
Not since I was a teen have I read so many books in a series. I thoroughly enjoyed each and every book. I just could not stop reading them and hated when real life got in my way of being able to sit down and read. I love how much history is involved with each book and how the author takes the time to educate the reader on the past. Thank you Jerry for a fantastic series!! Now, one to the next!

Excellent series
I have now finished reading all seven of this saga. Self Isolating has its benefits. All seven books are full of action and twists that make them difficult to put down. They build you up and then chop the legs out from under you before building you up again! Highly recommended. Enjoy and keep safe.

Great Ending!
This final book in the series might be considered the best. In one sense it is a happy ending, but above all it is the completion of a good story with meaningful placement in the history of the tenth century and the end of the Viking age.
