The Throne of Scone: A Book of the Keltiad (The Keltiad, No 2)

Rating:
Summary: An excellent conclusion to the trilogy about Aeron
Review: An excellent conclusion to the "Aeron" series. The main protagonists are joined by a supporting cast of very interesting characters. The story provides an interesting answer to the age-old question of Arthur's fate, whether posed on Earth or Keltia. Good must triumph and evil fail, but it takes the class of a writer like kennealy to make the old story worth reading again...& again...& again. Buy it.

Summary: Interesting despite itself
Review: I know I had read and enjoyed this (and its antecedent "The Copper Crown") before, so I read both again. Memory is not perfect, though. Though the conceit itself is interesting (Celts in Space!), and though this book is better-written than "The Copper Crown," Kennealy-Morrison is completely at a loss when it comes to describing action, location, a character's appearance (beyond the most superficial descriptions), or much of anything else. The faint whiff of racism doesn't help, either. These books are simply badly written, and much less appealing now that I'm now longer so starry-eyed about "the magickal Celts" as I once was. O.K. for a lark, but I'd check 'em out from the library rather than buy them.

Summary: Keeps you glued to the page
Review: The Throne of Scone is an excellent conclusion to The Copper Crown, keeping you glued to the pages as you read. I would suggest that it's better to read the Silver Branch as the last of the three, even though chronologically it takes place earlier; I believe the author wrote it after Copper Crown and Throne of Scone, and you understand the detail more when you know more about Aeron's future.

Summary: another winner from PKM
Review: The Throne of Scone is the conclusion to the series of Aeron Keltaid books and proves its ending is as entrancing as the beginning. The whole trilogy should be read, though you could still just read this and have an enjoyable read. It's awesome and per usual with PKM you have brilliant characters and luscious descriptions of the settings (makes you want to move to keltia). This book also makes you wish Aerons saga could just go on and on --it's that good! Well worth the trouble to get yourself a copy.
