Ever since I read “The once and future king” by T.H. White I have been fascinated by the King Arthur stories. I would love to read Helen Hollick’s take on things. I wonder if she goes the Avalon route or follows the Pendragon angle… always an interesting story within those old tales. I hope to hear from you soon

I liked Hollick’s depiction of Arthur: much more real-to-life than the traditional legend. I felt the author did a good job of blending history with myth, and creating an accurate picture of post-Roman Britain.

Arthur definitely had moments where you disliked him, among his other good qualities. Gwenhwyfar was the same way. There were times where I questioned her, but overall, she was more like-able than Arthur.

What did you think of the antagonist characters? Did you think they were well-rounded and complex? What did you think of Winifred? Did she have any redeeming qualities in your mind?
