Book Reviews of Firelord
Book Review: Absolutely gripping--historical fiction at its best!
Summary: 1 Stars
If King Arthur was indeed an historical person, what kind of person was he? Godwin's stunning portrait of a Britano-Roman prince who unites the fractious tribes of Britain against the invading Saxons is a gripping tale of a man who is not mythical, but very human. "Half a baby in a ditch," begins Arthur's recollection of the war. But the gritty narrative is touched with mysticism as Arthur encounters the mysterious mound dwellers of northern Britain, and finds himself sucked into their culture and their world. Written with striking realism, the strong characters and lyric prose make this novel the archetype for historical fiction.
