Review # 1 was written on 2008-11-09 00:00:00 Anthony Kern Ah, the promised Saxons yet I wasn't satisfied. I didn't feel anything for the characters, not even Artor (Arthur). It wasn't a bad book, but it could have been better. It gets 3 stars for uniqueness.

Review # 2 was written on 2021-01-28 00:00:00 Michael Goggins Continuing story of the time of Arthur (Artor in this book). Oesc becomes hostage to Artor when his father is killed in battle by Artor's father Uther. Over time, Oesc and Artor become friends and he returns to take his rightful place as king of his small Saxon realm. With a pact of peace, his kingdom is safe and prospers, but all is not well. There are those who resent the high king being friends with a Saxon...this story may have been told many times in many ways, but I find this version to be most enjoyable. All the favorite characters are there, and some most of us don't know. They are well-developed and the author does an excellent job of describing the scenery. Good read.
