And that’s my one small gripe about this book: We get to know that swamp pretty damn well. Large parts of “Horseman” take place in the swamp and it’s a bleak place. Apart from that there’s everything the first book had: Action, battles, betrayal, politics! It adds new and exciting characters (Iseult!), places, intrigues and much more. At its core, “Horseman” is, fortunately, more of the same as “The Last Kingdom” and if you liked that one, it’s highly likely you’ll enjoy this one, too. Now, you’ll have to excuse me again because right after the last page of this book, I started reading its successor and had a hard time making room for writing this! Four out of five stars!

There weren't as many battles in this book as in the first, and that worked well since for the majority of this book Alfred and the Saxons are pretty much hiding and trying to build up their ranks.
Uhtred grows more as a character. He's only 21 in this book, but he's seen some shit and is already growing tired and becoming more mature and seasoned.
I love the historical note in the back where Cornwell goes over who were real and what things really did happen, as well as what characters and events were either made up by him or were based on folklore. (
