review 1: I've read a lot of Arthurian legend stories over the years, some of them awful, many very good and a few that were brilliant (e.g. Once and Future King). Like M K Hume, a few of the authors treated Arthur as an historical figure, a great king at the end of the Roman/Celtic years fighting off the rampaging Saxons. Hume is a retired academic and brings a very credible sense of history to this book, the first of three. Her version of Arthur is more human than most, with a real childhood and youth, shaped by the times and by real personal tragedy. The familiar characters, from Merlin to Morgan, are likewise created anew and human. It's good stuff, and I look forward to reading the rest of the trilogy--and, apparently, another trilogy focusing on Merlin's life previous to Ar... morethur.
review 2: The first novel in M.K. Hume's "King Arthur Trilogy", "Dragon's Child" is the beginning of a decent series that chronicles the early days of Arthur up through his coronation. We start out by meeting Artorex at the age of 12 & continue following him on his adventures growing up as he searches for the crown & also meets many of the other characters who would truly become the stuff of Arthurian legend over time. Hume's story is engrossing as well as engaging as we the reader are taken on an journey through this book that sets up quite a bit more story to come as there is a little bit of everything for the reader. Overall a decent start to a series that I look forward to reading more from in the future. less
