I just finished The Last Kingdom: Seven Kings Must Die and…

what a roller coaster.

⚠️SPOILER WARNING!⚠️

not only did we get Aethelstan and his gay lover turned enemy but they kill the main character in one of the most beautiful ways possible. the talk of Aethelstan’s guilt for sleeping with a man and the sin that it was seen as made for a stunning scene (at least for me) when Uhtred told him that it didn’t matter who he was with as long as he was on the right path.

the battle was so beautiful and it felt like you were truely seeing the struggle that the men of England were facing. The plot, although not fully revealed until certain parts was actually well constructed (in my opinion) and finished with a conclusion that not only was one of the best ways I have seen a series end but was done so in a way that there is a sense of closure to it.

uhtred is now in valhalla, with his danish father ragnar the elder, brida, haestan and clappa. I would have liked to see his brother Ragnar, Father Beocca and even Leofric waiting for him as well. But I think the addition of Ragnar the elder was so amazing.

The film progressed at an amazing pace that kept you waiting to see what was next, all while ripping your heart out over the fate of some people. Finan and his wife, Engrid (Ingrid?) and her death scene was…

It hurt. So did Aldhelm and his hanging. He was a character I liked and for him to have died being seen as a traitor was awful.

The narrative of the entire movie was well balanced and much of the narrating from both Uhtred and Finan was amazing. Uhtred and his speeches will always be something to remember.

I may have cried at the end. His death speech was something. And I really did love the entire movie and show. My brother and my parents watched it with me, although I started it and they joined in.

But it was beautifully written and now I am going to read the books.

*Damn, this is a long rant but none of my friends watched it so now I can only watch youtube videos and scroll through tumblr about it :/
