chernobyl kinsman posted:his king arthur trilogy is a lot of fun because he went back and read a lot of the super-obscure welsh/celtic sources (and scholars who 'reconstructed' the same) and based his mythos in them. his scholarship in that area is genuinely pretty impressive for a pop historical fiction novelist I think King Arthur is his best work. Keeping it to a trilogy gave him a clear arc to work through over three books - unlike the Saxon stuff, where he's gonna keep knocking them out yearly and therefore just does a self-contained story which is basically identical to the other ones. gently caress it though, they're fun and light to read every now and then no matter how half-heartedly he wanks them out.
