Pendragon's Banner

review 1: This second book follows on from "The Kingmaking" It does not disappoint! Another brilliant and down to earth novel which had me once more completely immersed in the continuing story. The characters are very realistic. Arthur, now in his early twenties, fights to hold onto his Kingship. His strength of character is tried and tested and in his personal life, the tensions between the main characters are complex. His two enemies, his bitter ex wife Winifred and Morgause who is "Queen of the North" are his biggest threats. and Gwenhwyfar his greatest love. Vivid and realistic writing from Helen Hollick once more.
review 2: I absolutely loved this book, just as I did the first in the trilogy! This book had several more battles for the title of Supreme King, but Aut... morehor triumphs in all. By the end of the book, his uncle Ambrosius (Merlin) has finally decided to become Author's ally. Even his enemy Amlawdd decides to join with Arthur in the fight against Heuill after Gwenhwyfar persuades him through tickery. Two former women in Arthur's life, Winifred (his former wife) and Morgause (his father's mistress) are constantly trying to undermine Arthur in order to help obtain his throne. It was so sad to see that all three of Arthur and Gwenhyfar's sons were dead by the end of this book. Even though the deaths were accidental, Morgause's curse to see his children dead did, in fact, become reality. I can't wait to read the third and final book! less
