Review # 1 was written on 2011-08-20 00:00:00 Bob Smith I won't lie, when I got to the end of this book I cried. Not only because it was such a touching and emotional ending, but also because I knew it was the end of my stay in Albion. This series...it's simply amazing. I know I've said this before, but the characters in this series are so incredibly full of honor and virtue, it makes you wish you knew them in real life. And Albion itself is such a beautiful land of wonder and beauty that you can't help but wish you could live there forever. There is alot of symbolism in this series, and in this book particularly. The theme of the Celtic knot and the idea that everything we do is connected and intertwined really resonated with me, and I feel I will keep those concepts in my heart even though I have completed the trilogy. The ending is so amazing, so full of hope for the future that I really would love to recommend it to everyone who loves fantasy series. I have a feeling it will stay with me for a long time. Albion Forever! :)

Review # 2 was written on 2020-02-17 00:00:00 Ron Bodnar Wow. What a disappointment. I wish Lawhead had finished the series with book 2. The first two books together make up one of the most exciting and beautiful stories in modern fantasy. This book is tacked on, it feels, as though it were an afterthought. Nothing happens for 2/3 of the book. Then there's a quest, filled with the narrator ending chapters with phrases like "if only they had known what was about to happen!!!" Dun dun dun... And then, yeah, there's a bit of danger, but nothing extraordinary. You never feel that there's any danger to the main character. Until the sudden and very anticlimactic hero feat. And the end. Are you kidding me? Is the author actually suggesting that the hero feat of Lewis in some way made the eucharist more eucharistic? That his feat somehow made people in the real world more religious? There was a reason Tolkien never attempted to write about the Incarnation in his fantasy. It's a very, very bad idea. It took me half a year to finish this book. I wish I hand't. I wish I had just ended with book 2.
