I like fantasy (i.e. Lord of the Rings, other books by tolkien, books by C.S. lewis especially cronicles of narnia, perelandria etc.) so when i picked this up from the library shelf i fell in love w/ it. 10 out of 5 stars.

My best friend was into this type of book early on, and eventually he won me into them. I started with the Lord of the Rings, and was pretty much hooked. Then I saw these books on his shelf, and decided to give them a shot. Rather instantly I was hooked! The characters in each book are well thought out and the reader gets to know and enjoy every aspect of the story. Though by Arthur it became a little convulated, the plotline was seamless and excellent. Keen Beans Mr. Lawhead!

Taliesin was really the first fantasy book I have read. Mostly I read star trek stuff and chriton books. So this was a real turn-around. The second I started reading Taliesin I was hooked. I couldn't put the book down. Though it's mideival writing style does slow the reader down the over all story and the characers are what you fall in love with. I am almost done with pendragon the fourth book in the series. This is what started me on fantasy books.
