You know how sometimes you read a historical novel and when you're done you think, "That was pretty good--maybe not quite as good as the first book in the series, but fun." And then a few days later it sinks in that you're a grown woman who spent the better part of a week reading a book about a guy who named his sword Serpent-Breath and you feel weird about your life? Yeah.
Anyway, I couldn't help wishing the book had been from the POV of Iseult, a Shadow Queen who knows magic and can see the future and is ever-so-slightly more interesting than proto-bro Uhtred.
