About this title

Reviews

The fourth volume of Lawhead's ambitious Pendragon cycle, in which he attempts to combine Atlantean myths and the Matter of Britain, arrives at last at the reign of Arthur, and Lawhead's treatment is admirably original. In it, Gwenwhyvar (that is, Guinevere) is faithful to her lord; Arthur is Christian, though not kind to meddling, corrupt, or lazy clerics; and the climactic battle is fought against unusual but not implausible enemies, the Vandals and the Irish. Sound writing and scholarship alike assure the book's appeal to both the casual fantasy reader and the serious student of Arthurian material. Neophyte Arthurian fiction readers can still profitably begin with Rosemary Sutcliffe and Mary Stewart, and no one should start reading Lawhead's saga with this volume; but with those things understood, it is highly and widely recommended.
