Summary: What happened to Jack Whyte?
Review: I loved the first four books of Whyte's Camulod Chronicles, but apparently he lost his way in Fort At River's Bend (book 5). Now in Sorcerer, he has recovered quite a bit, but still fails to hold a candle to his previous works.Finally, Whyte resolves dozens of our expectations and dangling questions. Certain characters have died, as we knew they must. Camulod is becoming less Roman, and more like the Arthurian Britain we all know. Merlin has now become the sorcerer, and Arthur has pulled the sword from the stone and become King of all Britain. Unfortunately, the manner in which he did all this... left me far from impressed. While Whyte had spent immense detail on every little meaningless event in previous books, he then chaotically rushed through these MAIN events we have been waiting for since The Skystone. It's a shame, but after six books- I am no longer interested in how this series will turn out.

Summary: Well, I like it!
Review: I may only be 14 but I've read all these books and I like them all. Few writers describe the human body in a real believeable way, and Mr. Whyte sure does. This last one is no exception. My only problem is that this latest one was slower than the others and people think out loud too much. The earlier ones were lustier and had more fighting.

Summary: Couldn't put it down.
Review: I read the entire series on the recomendation of a friend. I actually started half way through the series. And then went back to the first book. About as good an historical fantasy as I've ever read. All books in the series are an excellent and enjoyable reading adventure.

Summary: The best ever read
Review: I was totally captivated! I stumbled on the first book at my husbands aunt's house. I had to then go and buy all the others in the series. I can't wait for the next one. Is it true that there is going to be 9 all together?

Summary: Bring on the rest of this story . . . please!
Review: I've completed this last book only hours ago. I discovered these books when the first two had been published years ago and eagerly awaited, bought and devoured each successive book as they were published. Two weeks ago I was led to go back and reread them consecutively, with no wait, no break. And that is the way to enjoy the full impact of these books. Even as I know the books are fiction, my mind demands in equal measure the smallest belief that this story is real. I urge you to read these books. The details of this magic story, the stirring of thoughts that Mr. Whyte generated in me as a reader will remain for weeks and weeks. And someday I'll reread them and discover the pleasure all over again.

Summary: Exciting and fulfilling
Review: If you read the other books in this series by Jack Whyte then you will definitely appreciate the finality that he brings to some of the storylines within this book. Merlyn is looked at from a totally new perspective, yet Whyte still creates a plot that allows Merlyn to succeed at his life's quest- to see Arthur crowned. If you have never read Whyte, this book will entice you to buy the other books in the series.

Summary: This series is a jewel!
Review: It is not often that I find a book, let alone a series, that remains in my thoughts for weeks after finishing it, but this one did. Jack Whyte has been criticized some in this forum for his weak character developement, but I can't see it. He did such a great job of creating his characters and making me love them that I felt very real shock and grief when both Dedalus and Ambrose died. I kept fearing that Donuil would be next! I had to keep reading to make sure the people I had grown to love through the books made it! I will say that as a woman, I was a bit bored by the seemingly endless battles and battle strategies, but I can see that they were necessary to the story. I did find the weaponry and descriptions of sword crafting very interesting, and it opened my eyes to things I've never wondered at before. Thank you, Jack Whyte, for your totally plausible, exceptionally well-written interpretation of a wonderful legend. Of the 6 months I spent savouring your words, I wouldn't say a moment of it was wasted time.

Summary: What can you say...
Review: Jack Whyte continues to create a storyline that is not only believable but also exciting. The way that he gets Arthur to the point of being declared king is so interesting that you find your face glued to the book. Bring on the next book, Uther. Thanks again, Jack.

Summary: Yet another winning book by Jack
Review: Jack Whyte has done it again. He brings the charecters to life in a way that not many writers can. I found myself riveted to the book not being able to put it down until I was finished. He also makes the book come alive, I often could see the action takeing place in my mind. The book was an emotional rollercoaster, I found myself feeling the joys and sorrows that Merlyn experienced through out the book. There were twists in the plot that I never expected, but they brought the story together. Keep up the good work Jack.
