Book Rating
The final entry in Bernard Cornwell's long-running 'Saxon Stories'/'The Last Kingdom'/Warrior Chronicles' (the series name seems to keep changing), that first started way back in the early noughties with The Last Kingdom, with the series following Uhtred of Bebbanburg: born a Saxon, raised by the Danes and reluctantly fighting for Alfred (the future 'the Great') of Wessex.

We're now into his - Alfred's - grandchildren time, and the notion of England has now come to all but fruition: indeed, by the end of this novel, and after the battle of Brunanburgh, all of the counties are united under the rule of Aethelstan.

A fitting end to the series.

Album Rating Watch
On an album full of radio experiments, some succeed—“100 Letters,” “Walls Could Talk” and “Alone” demonstrate the perennially fertile sound of alt-pop—and some inevitably fail.
Critic- Katherine St. Asaph
Original Score: 6.5 out of 10

Simple and easy to understand game (1 more)
Mitigating your dice and figuring out how to use them is the fun part
Dice allocation for the good of the kingdom.... and yourself.
The game is about defending the kingdom from invading armies that get progressively stronger every winter. so the other three seasons are about building up your kingdom by building buildings that are defensive or make you stronger in other ways. Some defenses are better against goblins, or maybe Zombies, build a church and get a bonus against demons... The game lasts about an hour and a half depending on how quickly people take their turns. There's not much analysis paralysis, there is a clever mechanism of choosing how to use your three dice.... lets say you roll a 1, 3, 6: You can place it on the total number, a combo of the two of them or a single die value, and each number on the board gives you different returns. Not nearly as difficult as Castles of Burgundy, this is a good entry point into dice allocation games. I like it.
