Interpretation As Books Uther (Arthur the Son #2)

With Uther, Jack Whyte, author of the richly praised Camulod Chronicles, has given us a portrait of Uther Pendragon, Merlyn's shadow--his boyhood companion and closest friend. And the man who would sire the King of the Britons.

From the trials of boyhood to the new cloak of adult responsibility, we see Uther with fresh eyes. He will travel the length of the land, have adventures, and, through fate or tragedy, fall in love with the one woman he must not have. Uther is a compelling love story and, like the other books in the Camulod Chronicles, a version of the legend that is more realistic than anything that has been available to readers before.

Criticize Appertaining To Books Uther (Arthur the Son #2)

Jack Whyte's books in this series are great historical fiction. they have so much detailed action and description of the way of life in fifth century Britain. This one in particular was so interesting because it told some of the same events from The Saxon Shore from a different point of view, filling in many of the unknowns.

I loved the way that the characters throughout the series portrayed the historical reality. I learned so much about the Romans and the early history of Great Britain. What a treat to walk the same path but in the mind of a different character of the time. I will never think of a meteor in the same way. What a talented author to create a possible world that would explain the how and why of that time.

While the writing was good in certain sections, I found this book very slow, hard to get through, and easy to put down. Too many of the characters are also just not likeable enough to be redeemed when they do morally wrong. Already knowing this story from one side from the rest of the series, I don't feel this one focusing more on Uther brought anything new or unique enough to warrant this book. Definitely not my favorite in the series.

I was rereading Uther after more than 15 years. Id read it before I read the Skystone series (in 2002) and now I decided to revisit this one before I donate it. I have limited shelf space (again) so Im reading some paperbacks and getting them out of my library. I was on page 620 or so, and remembering the details as I went along, when my 7 month old puppy decided to hurry me along to my next book. He ate the entire final 300 pages. Sure, he had a blast! judging by the mess - but if hed started

I put off reading this book for over a year because I didn't care for Uther Pendragon. I thought he was selfish and war-hungry. I feel so much better about him now that I've seen his perspective. I only wish I would have known him this intimately sooner in the series.

He tells a vivid and wonderful tale. Really good from beginning to end.

My favorite of the series so far. Well done.
