Summary: Superb Sci-Fi / Fantasy..... In a galaxy far in the future
Review: A must read for those who like sci-fi which is well developed. This isn't hastily slapped together, the writer goes into great detail in describing the society, background, core beliefs, political structure and culture of Keltia. The amount of detail is in itself facinating. You have a vivid picture of the setting - both time and place, which in turn brings the characters, their motivations and the setting to life. It puts me in mind of the Star Wars universe in the amount of detail established. The Copper Crown is a great place to start, though my favorite is its sequel - The Throne of Scone. The tales of Aeron, Fionbarr, Arthur and Brendan are wonderful - 5 stars!

Summary: The Copper Crown is one of the best books I have ever read.
Review: I absolutely love the Keltiad books. I have read all of her books about Keltia except her latest, Blackmantle. I loved all of them. This is probably my favorite of them all. It tells a story of a woman who is doubted by many, feared by some even, due to her actions after the tragic death of her parents and husband. Despite all of her trials, Aeron comes through shining and strong.

Summary: Off to a great start
Review: I first read The Copper Crown several years ago and was hooked; I have since read all of the other Keltiad books. I am particularly fond of books in series, and the Keltiad, like many other series, shows the developing talents of the author as she goes along. The Copper Crown was a great read, very detailed characters, was clearly thought out society in terms of politics, religion, etc., but as you read further books in the series you clearly see the author's talents getting stronger and better. I would suggest that you should read The Copper Crown and The Throne of Scone before The Silver Branch as I believe The Silver Branch is intended to be a flashback.

Summary: read it!!!
Review: I never thought that sci fi and king arthur could be meshed into one novel but patricia has done just that. I read the first book and was moved by the characters enough to read the next three in aeryn's trilogy and beg for more! I continued onto Arthur and was again moved to tears. Read this book the characterization, writing, and storyline are unique and the more you read the more you become involved with the Keltiad. Boys and girls alike will enjoy it! READ IT!

Summary: Deserved better characters
Review: I'll admit, the very concept of this book had me hooked from the start. The idea of Celts in space and an intergalatic power struggle sounded like something that would make for a good read. Unfortunately, it all went downhill from there. The novel's main flaw is that almost all its characters are made of cardboard; the Good Kelts vs. Nasty Imperials. Most of the Kelts (and other characters) are so insufferably perfect in almost every way that one can hardly tell they're human at all. This in the end means that its hard to at all identify with them or get swept up by their various trials and triumphs, and that is a fatal flaw in any story. There are some scenes that hint that there is a possibility of much, much more to these characters, but they are far too few. I have not read the sequel yet, and can only hope that the characters' depictions improve as the story goes on. However, this novel itself is average at best.

Summary: A wonderful futurist Arthurian tale!
Review: If you like Arthurian tales and well written Sci-Fi/Fantasy, you will love this book! I especially liked the strong likable (or hateable, as the case might be) characters. The richness of the Keltic culture was also a plus for me. Ms. Kenneally-Morrison's blending of science and magick was beautiful. I am reading this book (and it's sequal) for the THIRD TIME.

Summary: read it!!!
Review: The Copper Crown is the first in the series of Keltaid books and sooo worth the read (you’ll be hooked). It is a sweeping tale of Aeron (Queen of Keltia) you get to know her and her world in a way few authors can describe. Great to read a book with a strong female lead, especially a sci-fi fantasy type one (though don’t let that put you off there’s enough to like here even for those who don’t normally read those genres). PKM’s talent and imagination are shown here in a rich world full of entrancing characters, well worth the search to get your hands on this book.

Summary: The attention to detail keeps me going back to Keltiad.
Review: The Copper Crown was the first book I read by Ms. Kennealy Morrison. Not only has she created a world many of us would like to live in, but the attention to details relating to the aspects of politics, religion and daily life are unbelievable, I guess I should say livable. After reading her book on her life with and without Jim Morrison I can see why so many details are there. This series has been a work in progress that I personally hope never ends. Write on Ms. Kennealy Morrison, I'll be there to read them.
