Review of 'The last light of the sun' on 'Goodreads'

Decent read, but not my favorite GGK book he's put out. My interest in what was going on came and went depending on what was going on and who was being featured. The ending felt a little flat and unrewarding, especially considering the buildup. Glad I read it, probably won't read it again anytime soon.

Review of 'The last light of the sun' on 'Goodreads'

Yet another masterwork from Kay.

This time, Kay approaches the history of the British Isle, incorporating the Viking raids, the imagined history of Aelfred the Great, and the tension between pagan Britain and the
New religion from Europe.

Kay as always writes with grace, beauty and a deep understanding of the humanity behind the wars, duels and suffering of history.

An unreserved recommendation for fans of historical fiction, fantasy, or skilled writing in general.
