Status Updates From The Last Kingdom (The Last ...

I dont understand why people say this is so well written? It's very basic, there's no flowery prose or anything that gives substance or soul. I did read that his other series might be better?

might dnf bc of the casual portrayal of women being assaulted, that's a hard no for me. And I didn't like the way the young boy described what happened and how he'll do it too??? excuse me? did I read that wrong?? and like yeah, I get the time period but I still hate how those actions are normalized and how men show no remorse for the horrors that women experience

The book is wonderful so far, much more of his childhood than in the show.
