Book Reviews of Enemy of God (The Arthur Books #2)
Book Review: Enemy of God
Summary: 5 Stars
Great story -- and well written. Makes the period (500 AD) seem very real -- tough time to be living. Loved the character Derfel. Lots of heroism, love, hate, death, treachery -- just like life.
Summary of Enemy of God (The Arthur Books #2)
With the Winter King, the first volume of his magnificent WarlordCornwell furnishes a provocative look at the Arthurian legends in Enemy of God, the second book in the Warlords Chronicle. This version of the tale takes place during the Dark Ages, when even the lords of the land lived in thatched huts. Arthur, still defending Britain for his younger half-brother Mordred, faces religious uprisings, Saxon invasions, and disloyalty at the heart of the kingdom. His uncompromising belief in oaths and his optimistic blindness to human betrayal isolate him from even his closest friends. At the same time, Merlin's quest for the Cauldron (read Holy Grail) also becomes entangled in treachery.
Cornwell's writing skills have continued to evolve since his journeyman Sharpe series, and Enemy of God combines intriguing descriptions of Druidical magic with the war-ravaged landscape of Dark Ages Britain, without holding back on the brutality of vengeance and war. The Matter of Britain always commands interest, and Cornwell invests the usual splendor and tragedy with the human squalor of the times. --Blaise Selby
