Search - The Singing Sword (Camulod Chronicles, Bk 2)

I'm continuing to read these by the recommendation of a friend. Whyte's historical details continue to fascinate - however, he ignores not only women as full characters in these mostly military histories, he also ignores the realities of women's work. He writes at length about blacksmithing, which I love and found fascinating, yet he ignores the realities of clothing production that absorbed a full 60% of all men and women's work in that period. Thus his historical details, and the crappy women-for-sex-only characters, make these books too inaccurate indeed.

This is a great series! This book keeps things moving and very interesting. Whyte paints a wonderful picture for the story of how the family of Arthur evolves.

Second book about the times when Rome left Britain and about when the legend of Arthur was starting to take form.

Continues the excellent story of the beginning of the Authurian ledgend. Rome is fading and Britian emerging as Excalibur is forged.
