Book Review of The Kingmaking (Pendragon's Banner Trilogy, Bk 1)

The Kingmaking (Pendragon's Banner Trilogy, Bk 1)
reviewed A different take on King Arthur... on


As a constant reader of anything that is historical fiction, I was drawn to this book in the bookstore. Plus it was on sale - even better. However, this book gives a very realistic view of King Arthur and his rise to lord of all of England. There is no fluffy magic from Merlin or witches who are out to get him (even half-sisters - like in "Excalibur"). Instead you get a real feel for the man and his quest to fulfill his destiny.

Once you start, you can't help but want to find out more, all the way to the end.
