Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

This first installment of a trilogy describes Arthur's education by Merlynn, his gathering of followers to campaign against theocratic tyranny in his homeland of Keltia and his turbulent, jealous relationship with cousin Gweniver. "Kennealy's world is a rich and strange blend of the modern and the ancient," declared PW.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Arthurian Trilogy yet!!, February 9, 2002

I have been a fan of Arthurian legend forever. This series is my favorite of all time. The characters feel like friends you've known or you wish you had known. The places come alive like no book I've ever read. I knew how the story was to end but cried anyway. PKM's books are my favorite of all time. I recommend this series as well as her other series. She is a great author and shame on the publishers for not continuing with her work, the way she AND her fan/consumers wish.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow. Arthur in the Stars, February 27, 2002

This review is from: The Hawk's Gray Feather (Keltiad) (Paperback)

In what has to be one of the most original takes on the Arthurian mythos, Patricia Kennealy-Morrison places Arthur's early years in Keltia, as a rising star and prince in the struggle to free the Keltic worlds and Keltia from the Theocracy and the Death-Druid that has taken power. All this seen though the eyes of Arthur's foster brother, who becomes one of Keltia's greatest bards and mate to Arthur's sister, Morgan. Very well done - and leaves you wanting more.

5.0 out of 5 stars best of the Keltiad series, February 26, 1999

This review is from: The Hawk's Gray Feather (Keltiad) (Paperback)

I have read this book 8-10 times and the language Ms. Morrison finds to express her characters thoughts and emotions never ceases to amaze me and bring tears to my eyes. Arthur's speech to the crowd is the best example of this, and it is truly magical how an earthling (?) like Ms. Morrison can tell us what Arthur would say.
