"The myths and legends are intricately woven together. A good read"

Review
"Pushes the usual fantasy envelope and voyages into some serioulsy unexpected directions. Written with plenty of energy and vigour, Chadbourn's original take on the fantasy epic packs in plenty of action and incident." (Saxon Bullock SFX )

"The myths and legends are intricately woven together. A good read" (Dreamwatch )

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent climax to another fantastic trilogy., 1 Jul 2005
Chadbourn's previous novels were cover to cover tension, action, emotion and sensuously descriptive prose. I expected no less from this most recent installment.

"The Hounds of Avalon" seems almost a slow starter, with gentle character building and dialogue dominating the earlier chapters, but it's not long before the novel explodes into a colourful tapestry of storylines that suck you into the book, entranced and unable to put it down (I read it in a day, non-stop!)

The Third in the "Dark Ages" Trilogy, this book serves as the sequel that binds together the seemingly unrelated "The Devil in Green" and "Queen of Sinister", as well as the previous "Age of Misrule" trilogy, bringing the extended story to its climax and completion (or is it?)

Read it, but not until you have read the previous 5 books in Chadbourn's apocalyptic fairy tale.

5.0 out of 5 stars So many enemies so little time, 28 Nov 2006
By P. O'Connor "Sci-Fi Fan" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In Hounds we finally get to see what the Government have been up to since the Fall. Just as the Church failed to deliver the goods in Devil in Green, the Government don't appear to be much cop here. In an attempt to "recruit" the help of one of the Brothers of Dragons they end up shooting one and leaving them for dead. Way to go! As if the Brothers and Sisters of Dragons don't have a hard enough job already. With dwindling numbers they set out to find the original Brothers and Sisters from The Age of Misrule series. Hounds of Avalon is a great adventure. I was happy to see the return of some of the old gang; their presence is sourly needed as they face an enemy more dangerous than any before.

3.0 out of 5 stars Poor ending for a trilogy..., 2 Sep 2008
This review is from: The Hounds of Avalon: The Dark Age 3 (Gollancz S.F.) (Paperback)
...as it leaves you wondering why on earth MC didn't finish the storyline. He leaves it up to the readers own imagination as to how the Brothers and Daughters of Dragons are going to overcome the Void.

Fortunately however MC is writing "Destroyer of Worlds" which will complete the trilogy! Yes, Mark Chadbourn wrote "The Dark Age" as a triology but requires four books to actually finish the series...go figure.

The Dark Age series is not too bad, but I much prefered the Age of Misrule.

Please note that Mark Chadbourn has also written 'Jack of Ravens' which reunites us with the original Brothers and Sisters of Dragons.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two fantastic series
I can't believe I've finally finished the Age of Misrule and Dark Ages series!

These are by far the best books I have read all year. Read more
