I appreciate the publisher allowing me to read this book. I found this book incredibly interesting the author really kept me hooked until the end. very well written I highly recommend.

The English King: England: The Second Viking Age was a great read to go back in time with. I am giving it four and a half stars.

this was a strong entry for the tenth book in the Earls of Mercia series, the time period was great and I really enjoyed getting to know the characters.

The English King: England by M J Porter presents an exceptional historical fiction storyline and keeps the reader interested during all times. The book offers an insight into the lives of the conquerors, kings and lords of the time embedded in a world of conflict and constant threats by the enemy. The timeline aligns with AD 1042 and if a reader enjoys the rich English history of the time, this book remains a must-read. The book carries a hidden message of constant complexity that formed part of the England politics of the time and also the diverse roles people played in the future of their country.

I recommend this book to readers who enjoy English history and the associated intrigues that happened during the time,

I enjoyed the continuation of the series by Porter. The interpersonal relationships and the interaction with the royal court was interesting. The book has many twists and turns.
