Question regarding the books
Ever since I found out there were books I thought I'd try to read them even tho there's a lot of them, I'm a bookworm tho, so I think that won't be a problem lol.

Are they good? Are they better than the show? Is it worth it? Plsss I'd like to know ur experience with the books :)

3rd watch.
Brida, cannot stand to watch her ridiculous character the writers gave her for this season.

How different is the TV series from the books

Watched the TV show (though slowly over a couple years so a bit that I forgot a long the way). How different is the show from the books. I'm sure the novel series is a lot deeper but is it like Game of Thrones where the show is basically a cliff notes version of the books. Or does it go in a different direction entirely?

What was aethelflaed ransom worth

Just starting the series again, and…
Lord Odda is such a Chad!! He’s definitely one my top favorite dudes in the whole series. I’m just now on episode 3 of season 1. I’ve watched the show probably 8 or 9 times over the years, but I out it down for the last couple years just to try to have a fresh experience with it again. Odda just said to Ælfred, “of course… anything for Wessex.” with his sly grin.But many of you know what he means… ANYTHING FOR WESSEX!!!

26 October marks the death of King Alfred the Great of
King Alfred’s death is recorded in the Wi******er Manuscript version of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle as:

‘Here died Alfred, Æthelwulf’s offspring, six days before the Feast of All Hallows. He was king over all the English race except that part which was under Danish control, and he held that kingdom twenty-eight and a half years.’

Just think. Without him, there wouldn't be a fantastically written book and television series called The Last Kingdom!

Destiny is All!

What a fantastic show
I put off watching it because I figured it would be a lot like Vikings which I liked a lot and so I didn’t watch it until this year. I’m glad I waited but I’m sad over. The writing was incredible. It’s one of the best shows I’ve seen. After I finished the series I watched the movie and I think it was a great way to wrap everything up. Uhtred was played so well. Does anyone know of any other series that cover this era besides Vikings and Vikings Valhalla?

Should I keep watching?

I just finished the first two episodes and thought it was alright but it definitely didn't hook me, which is what I was hoping for.

So is there a particular episode in season 1 that I should reach to know if this show is for me?

As a somewhat reference for period shows - I absolutely loved Rome, thought Sh**un was ok and gave up on Vikings.

Most underrated Guy in the Show
I just did a rewatch of the the Show and forgott about Halig. He was a true friend for Uthred and his Death was really Sad. He deserved better.
