Jeff Jones's Reviews > Pendragon

I had read somewhere that this was unlike any other books covering this subject and would not be what I was expecting and they weren't wrong. It gives a completely new spin on that period of history and those dark turbulent times at the twilight of the Roman empire in Britain.

I'm a huge fan of James Wilde and absolutely loved the Hereward series and would even go as far as to say that was my favourite series or at least as good as Cornwell's Last Kingdom series, so I was always going to give this series a go.

The characters are strong and well-rounded and the writing gripping and descriptive. That said, I would not describe myself as being absolutely hooked on the series as I was by the end of page 1 of the first Hereward book, but then again it had a lot to live up to in my eyes and perhaps it's a series that I will grow into. Either way it was an excellent read anyway and will appeal to a great many people I'm sure.
