Enemy of God: A Novel of Arthur (Warlord Chronicles)

Product Information

However, Cornwell has stated that it will not be about Thomas of Hookton from The Grail Quest or any of his relatives. Overall a very good read but a few minor flaws making it lose a little rating overall but looking forward to the finale and how things come together.

Arthur believes none of this mystical nonsense, and is up to his elbows just trying to keep the Saxons from invading Britain. Keeble's voices match each character perfectly, and the way he conveys the characters' pain elicits incredible emotion from the listener. Cornwell's strict Protestant upbringing informed the background of A Crowning Mercy, which took place during the English Civil War.

Derfel and others who follow Arthur think he should be king, while Arthur dreams of a quiet retirement as a farmer. Derfel and his men drive off Dinas and Lavaine, but during the battle Lavaine kills Derfel's youngest daughter, Dian. These characters have depth, believable motivations and behave as real people with conflict, self-interest, guilt and shame.

I thought he did a good job on the Winter King, but some of the Monty Python-esque women's voices were a bit awkward. The treasures of Britain, Merlin believes, will bring the old Gods onto the side of the British in their struggle against the Saxons (and the Christians, whom Merlin hates).Com uma narrativa absurdamente leal aos fatos descobertos pelo autor, somos transportados novamente para a Britânia de antigamente, onde seus habitantes tentam defender suas terras dos invasores saxões. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. This second installment in Cornwell's Arthurian trilogy stands up to the brilliance of the first book, The Winter King. At the suggestion of a friend, I listened to the audiobook narrated by Jonathan Keeble, and I’m so glad I did - everything about the narration was excellent.

The loss of half a star is just that the pacing slightly lagged for me around the halfway mark but this was a minor issue as it soon picked up again. There's really not much critique to say about a book that is so polished, so well written, so entertaining with delightful and memorable characters!It was also beautifully written (just like The Winter King was), but just an improvement in every way.
