Title: More Fantasy than Historical Fiction
Product review: This was a very enjoyable book to read. While realizing that the story of Arthur is mythical, when I purchased the book I was expecting historical fiction. I would have to say however, that this book is more fantasy, given the story of Charis and Atlantis as well as the finding of Taliesin and his trips to the Otherworld. That is not to say that the book is not historically accurate. When the book does discuss Britain, it is for the most part historically accurate. Lawhead does an incredible job of character development, which is increasingly becoming a lost art in this age of "action and adventure". I plan on reading the Pendragon Cycle, and while I haven't read the other books, I'm not sure that I would recommend this as a stand-alone read. Throughout the book, my sense was that this was an introduction to a much longer story that what was contained solely in this book.
