I have read both. Now I ameagerly awaiting the third book. I like
the left handed way that the legends of the of the Lady of the lake
and the sword in the stone are pesented. I read as much Celtic and
British ancient and early history that I can. I am also an ancient
history reader (Fiction and nonfiction). I have enjoyed some of the
detail and the throwaway lines.
