Satisfying conclusion to an epic and excellent trilogy (0 more)
3rd and final part of the fantastic Warlord Chronicles!
Excalibur is the third and final book in the Warlord Chronicles series and is just a compelling and captivating as the first 2 books. (See my earlier reviews for the first 2 parts of this trilogy, ’The Winter King’ and ‘Enemy of God’)
Some epic battles and betrayals conclude this tale of Arthur, told by his loyal friend and Warlord Derfel, now an aged Christian Monk. Overall, the trilogy is a superbly realistic and gritty yet fictional account of the dark ages and the epic journey of Arthur and a magnificently strong cast of characters.
If you liked ‘The Vikings’ or ‘The Last Kingdoms’ series on TV, I would highly recommend that you give this trilogy a read – starting with The Winter King.

Oh wow!

I thought the first in the series was good but this is brilliant!

It takes one second and three little words to throw Lila Dayne into the abyss that she's been circling for two years.....

Winter Austin has created something that is gripping, emotional and immersive. Hush, My Darling has everything it should have and more to hook you and keep you guessing throughout.
    I had my suspicions........and second guessed myself......I started to think I was wrong.......that three other characters, potentially, were the one hunting Lila, that's how well Winter played me with her twisting tapestry of a story. I'm sad to say I doubted someone I really shouldn't have thanks to a few paragraphs......little details that tried to trick me.

I can't wait for the next installment of this cracking series, I need more!!
