5.0 out of 5 stars
Exceptional!,
By
This review is from: In Winter's Shadow (Hardcover)
If you think you know the story of Arthur - try again. Gillian Bradshaw completes her trilogy in an exceptional tale. This time the story is told from the perspective of Gwynhwyfar. Some of the basics hold true - the love triangle, the usurping, treasonous, illegitimate son and the battle of "good vs. evil".However, Lancelot's name does not appear in this work - neither does Merlin's. Bradshaw holds true to the Welsh version of the tale and uses the more traditional characters of Cai and Bedwyr among others. The end of Camlann comes not with a barge and three queens sailing Arthur off into the sunset...but with how kingdoms truly end and lives along with them. It is a gripping, exciting read filled with good military strategy for those of you who like that aspect of Arthurian tales. If you like this legend - this is a must read. This collection will never leave my bookshelf!

Fantastic final chapter in Bradshaw's trilogy,
By A Customer
This review is from: In Winter's Shadow (Paperback)
In Winter's Shadow is the third and final book of Gillian Bradshaw's version of the Arthurian saga, which began with "Hawk of May" and continued with "Kingdom of Summer." She manages to make this one of the most emotionally compelling novel re-tellings of this classic story, and to do so is no small feat. Because Bradshaw paints such a remarkable picture of sixth century Britain, has such a canny touch with magic, and creates such depth of character, the reader is drawn through this legend as if they've never heard it before. I highly recommend every book of this trilogy; it is one of the finest examples of fantasy/historical fiction I've ever read. And it will make you cry!

A new view on the old story, King Arthur.,
By A Customer
This review is from: In Winter's Shadow (Paperback)
As the conclusion to Bradshaw's Arthurian trilogy, this book serves wonderfully to tie up loose ends and terminates with the classic tragedy, Arthur's kingdom falls because of his wife's infidelity; however, Bradshaw adds new spice and flavour to the whole story by telling it from Guinevere's point of view and her names for the characters are Welsh. I highly recommend this book to those looking for a new slant on the Arthurian trilogy.
