Review "The Fort at River's Bend" By Jack Whyte
This is the continuation of Mr. Whyte's Arthurian Camulod series. In this book Arthur is a boy growing into a young man. Since his enemies know who he is, Merlyn takes him away from Camulod to a secluded fort in Northwestern England. Here, with a few loyal friends, he continues Arthur's education and training.
I enjoy Mr. Whyte's historical fiction style of writing and his version of ancient England. But sometimes the pace of this series drags on me - Book Six is over and Arthur is a teenager who still hasn't seen or held Excalibur. And Mr. Whyte is still writing the series - so how long could it go? 15 books?
I enjoy it but I will still pick Mary Stewart, T.H. White or Bernard Cornwell's versions over this series....
