I felt the author did a good job of blending history with myth, and creating an accurate picture of post-Roman Britain.<BR/><BR/>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.<BR/><BR/>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?<BR/><BR/>Also, now that I think about it, I would have liked to see Morgause as a more regularly character throughout the novel. What do you think? I thought she was an interesting, conflicting character.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1748159707491896359.post-75450711886582220152009-03-10T20:41:00.000-07:002009-03-10T20:41:00.000-07:00I think this one will make my top 5 of the year......I think this one will make my top 5 of the year....I just hope they re-release the whole trilogy!
