Summary: Whyte strikes gold again.
Review: To the hisorical picky-picks and moral police: If you didn't like the last two books, why do you continue reading this series? I can think of only two reasons: either a) you simply enjoy seeking out fresh fodder to complain about, -or- b) you LOVE these books as much as most everyone else does, but you just can't bring yourself to admit it. Because of Whyte's engrossing style, vivid storytelling, and sheer genius at coming up with the idea for the Camulod Chronicles, I suspect the latter.

Summary: Another Winner from Whyte
Review: Well, like Stephen Lawhead's series, this is Merlyn's book. Whyte is into book 3 and still cooken. All the Arther books view Merlyn or Merlin, or Merlen, (lets not get into the Welsh for Merlin) a little differently. Whyte view is interesting. A nice guy, a little know it all again, with some bad#@% powers. Fate deals him a bad hand and he really goes off the deep end. And here comes Arther (drum roll please). Now we have all the main players on stage...Jack, slow this baby down or you'll never hit book 30. Which reminds me, thats a 30...

Summary: Romance in Disguise
Review: When women write stories about mute girls who are saved by big, strong men who teach them to be sexually aware, that is considered Romance fiction and is looked down upon. But here we have the same formula: a mysterious young girl, beautiful and abused, unable to speak. A hero of mythical proportions comes to her rescue. Cassandra never felt real to me, because the author never lets her speak -- just another female character to manipulate and show the hero off to advantage.
Historical fiction and historical detail are good things, when there are real characters to hold them up, and a real story to listen to. This book seesaws between long and tedious discussions of theology and Danielle Steele.
