3.5 Borrow it Self Purchase, Kindle Edition I’m pulled into the world and story very easily. This is a great (though not amazing) book. I love the characters and love the story. Robert the Bruce is a very likeable character. I did feel like the novel ended weirdly. I would have thought the book...
This book basically covers the start of a Roman dystopia. Think Roman fundamentalists. Perhaps we could describe all mediaeval fiction as Roman dystopian fiction?It was mostly interesting, although Varrus does some really stupid things and there are some needlessly detailed descriptions.
5 Stars, Buy it Kindle Version. Re-read review. As a side note, my cat Merlyn is named from a character in the series. Every bit as awesome as I remembered. Rich and full of detail. I absolutely love the two main male characters (Caius and Plubius). This book absolutely sucks you in, even on th...
This is the second book in the Camulod Chronicles, which began in The Skystone. The book deals with the legend of King Arthur, but unlike other treatments of the material I've read, it's entirely realistic, with none of the fantastical--that, in fact is it's fascination. I haven't read the series by...
This book is part of a series of books based on the legends of King Arthur. I've read quite a few books based on Arthurian lore, but this series is unique. It doesn't stand out for the quality of the writing, which is no more than decent. It does stand out for the imagination and verisimilitude with...
This is the fourth book in the "Camulod Chronicles" series. The first book, The Skystone I rated five stars, the second book, The Singing Sword four and a half, the third, The Eagles' Brood four stars. Notice a trend? Yeah, and this one gets three and a half stars. That first book earned the five st...
The work of Arthurian literature that captured my imagination as a teen was Mary Stewart's Crystal Cave about Merlin--it was even assigned to me in high school. My knowledge up to then of King Arthur was that he was pure fantasy. Although there are fantasy elements in Stewart's tale, what fascinated...
This is the sixth book in the "Camulod Chronicles" a realistic, historically grounded telling of the King Arthur legends. Although there are further books in the series, this was initially planned to be the culmination of the series. In a preface to one of the earlier books Whyte explains how the ke...
The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail told us that the Knights Templar had secrets, probably to do with the family of Christ, and definitely to do with the Temple of Jerusalem. This book takes that idea and runs with it. Speculating that the Knights Templar are an offshoot of an order that has descend...
Oh deary me. It had such promise. A trilogy (this being the first) telling the story of the founding, flourishing & sudden decimation of the Templar knights sounded like a rip-roaring tale. How very wrong. At 548 pages, this is easily twice as long as it needed to be. He gets badly sidetracked into ...
