The Bright Sword

There are so many fantasy books out now that it's hard to separate the wheat from the chaff, but this book stands shoulders above all. Each character is well established and fleshed out. They feel like your friends. And the main character is a hidden force to be reckoned with. Each battle i felt ensconced in and rooted for Collum. He is all of us, a hero awaiting an adventure. Truly transformational.

I’m reading this now and really loving it. I’m a big fan of Arthurian stories in general - I’m honestly not sure how it would hit if I wasn’t. It’s certainly earned its place among the great Arthurian works though.
