Title: Disappointing Read from Lawhead
Review: Stephen Lawhead is one of my favorite fantasy / fiction writers - but Avalon is a plodding read that, unfortunately, felt like he was fulfilling a publishing contract rather than writing from his heart. There's little characterzation or drama - and I kept reading page after page waiting for the story to kick in...which it never did. For "classic" Lawhead, start the Song of Albion trilogy (The Paradise Wars is book one).
Is the review positive or negative?
