The Throne of Scone: Second Book of the Keltiad [Hardcover]

Patricia Kennealy (Morrison) (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

A historical romance translated to an SF milieu, Kennealy's Keltiad series dwells less on computers and cosmology than on magic, Celtic myths and traditions, swordplay, Druids, bards, Amazons and complicated dynastic relations. Indeed, the three-page roll call identifying the charcters must be consulted frequently. As this sequel to The Copper Crown opens, Aeron Aoibhell, the fiery queen and high priestess of Keltia, has barely escaped the defeat of her realm by Jaun Akhera, Emperor of the Cabiri. To regain freedom and throne, she goes in quest of the ancient spaceship of King Arthur and its legendary magical weapons, the Thirteen Treasures. By story's end, her Fomori allies and her own sorcerous powers have conquered Jaun and she has become Empress of a peaceful new Imperium. The next volume in Kennealy's vigorous, colorful but convoluted Celtic pastiche will be a prequel to The Copper Crown.

Loved it! This book proves what many readers know but seldom see; a book CAN have complex characters and plot; one doesn't have to be sacrificed for the other. Plus detailed cultures, and lots of action. You get a real FEEL for the places and the people. Character and location names were a bit difficult, but don't let that faze you; read it!

I thought this was a great follow up to the previous book, the copper crown. Aeron's journey ties this trilogy and the tales of Arthur trilogy together while advancing the story. I can't wait for the next Aeron book.
