I am a sucker for all things Arthurian, and this is a relatively distant relative to such things; dealing as it does with a High King seeking national unity and peace. It has a few firm clues as to the link, a Mordred like character (not related to Urdo, the king); throwing his sword into the lake after his death; the mobile cavalry based army; but the story is different. This is book two of Jo Walton's debut work and my only real criticism is that I think she tries to hard to show us how she can populate a novel with lots of different characters, different races and different lands within a coherent fantasy framework. You may find you need a checklist of characters to keep track of everything that is happening. This is a clear sign of Walton's early talent and whilst good , there is better to come. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

The warrior Sulien ap Gwien and her lord King Urdo have finally united the land of Tir Tanagiri into a kingdom ruled by justice under a single code of law. But where many see a hopeful future for the land, others believe they sense the seeds of a new tyranny. Soon Tir Tanagiri faces the blight of civil war, and Sulien ap Gwien must take up arms against former comrades and loved ones, fighting harder and harder to hold on to Urdo's shining dream. Continuing the epic begun in The King's Peace, this new novel brings the story of Sulien ap Gwien to a rousing and moving conclusion. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

I had trouble keeping all the characters straight (they generally appear once or twice and then, a hundred pages later, I have to remember who they are once more), but the battles are well written, the characters finely wrought, and the overarching plot enthralling. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in medieval Europe or Arthurian tales. ( )
