The Third book in the series by Bernard Cornwell is as good as the first, because Cornwell never runs out of writing material. He constantly employs the work of writing with artistry making a beautiful composure of words. The Lords of the North is a book that I liked very much and would read again. As a rating I would give a 10/10 on this book ...
