Audrey M’s Reviews > The Pale Horseman > Status Update

I really enjoyed “The Last Kingdom,” but I’m 65 pages in to this one, and I’m strongly considering not finishing it. I get the feeling Uhtred is not going to grow as a character and is never going to discover what’s actually worth fighting for. He’s a man whose only center is himself, and I don’t want to stay in that perspective longterm. It becomes a depressing slog, despite the fast paced action.
