Title: Where do I start?
Review: This is the second book that I have been unable to finish in my life. I slogged trhough "Taliesan" hoping that the series would get better. It got worse. The characters are pitifully shallow, though Lawhead seems to think he's giving them depth and motivation by inserting a few temper-tantrums and pseudo-profound musings. There's quite a bit of pointless wailing and foreshadowing which only serves to confuse the reader, but what I really couldn't stomach was the unbelievably andro- and Christian-centric tone of the books. The only woman with any spine at all is the villian of the piece. How shocking. And the self righteous piety of Merlin and his merry band can only be stomached for so long. I reccomend that any female with an ounce of self-respect read Marion Zimmer Bradley's "The Mists of Avalon" if you're looking for Arthurian lore.
