Hollick is an excellent story teller. Glad you enjoyed them all. <br />I actually would like to read her back list some day...when I have a chance.Jenny Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04077659644092707107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-22361718402037857382010-08-17T09:46:25.950+10:002010-08-17T09:46:25.950+10:00I adored this series too.

I have Jack Whyte's books on my list but I am not sure if or when I will get to them. My next taste of Arthurian fiction will either be Anna Elliott or more likely Mary Stewart.<br /><br />Misfit, the third book was the weakest IMO too.<br /><br />Blodeuedd, I know that you are not alone. There are a few people around who didn't really like them.<br /><br />Leya, I haven't read Marion Zimmer Bradley and I don't really have any desire too. I am not really sure why I don't.<br /><br />Sean, there does seem to be a lot of Arthurian fiction out there.

After slogging through Jack Whyte's series over the last year and a half, it's definately time for some hopefully more interesting Arthurian fiction!Daphnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12838072651419264066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-55980652157638217262010-08-15T23:57:17.269+10:002010-08-15T23:57:17.269+10:00I really enjoyed these as well, but the last did d...I really enjoyed these as well, but the last did drop off for me.

One series which I started but never found the rest of the book for were by Jack Whyte - The Singing Sword was his first. It had a distinctly Roman flavour IIRC.Sean Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14485575602984697926noreply@blogger.com
