Product Description

Synopsis
The second in the "Pendragon's Banner" trilogy, a retelling of the story of King Arthur. The newly-crowned king of Britain stands with Gwenhwyfar, his queen, at his side. There are hard times ahead for both of them, not least because Arthur has failed to deal decisively with certain old enemies.

4.0 out of 5 stars An exciting interpretation of the Arthur legend., 16 Mar 2001
By A Customer
Don't read this book (or any of the trilogy) expecting a tale of mystery, magic and Merlin. Rather a historian's view of what the real Arthur and Britain in the post-Roman, pre-Saxon age might have been like. This is a time when Rome has deserted the British and the English are only just arriving from 'Germany' bringing with them upheaval and a constant struggle for power. A time when 1000 soldiers is considered a major force and tribal and ethnic loyalties are constantly shifting. As in real life many people are looking to the past and the glory of Rome while others want to look to the future. Not as clear a distinction as it sounds. Dirt, death, tragedy and a nicely dispassionate view of life and death keeps the books rocking along even though they are quite substantial. I did manage to put it down but it did certainly keep me popping back as often as possible.

If I did have one criticism it was that Guinevere (spelt in the more realistic Welsh fashion in this book) was possibly a little bit more of a modern feminist action hero than I feel reasonable. But then again what is a novel without a challenging interpretation of life and love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pendragon's Banner, 19 Jan 2005
By Kelly A. Stambaugh (Cleveland, OH USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is one of the best books I have ever read on the subject of King Arthur. I absolutely loved all of the faults and shortcomings that were woven into the character of Arthur. Ms. Hollick did not portray him as the "golden king" of legend, she made him real and likeable. I needed to order this book from the UK, as I reside in the US, and Ms. Hollick's books are not available here. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND anything that has been written by Helen Hollick - you won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Arthur as he should be, 9 Mar 2009
This review is from: Pendragon's Banner (Pendragon's Banner Trilogy) (Paperback)
Having read this trilogy & Bernard Cornwell's, HHs' Arthur comes out the more rounded, lovable, believable character.

Couldn't put it down.
