Hi Bernard, I just finished the Arthur Books and I enjoyed them very much but not as much as the Saxon Stories. I think because the Saxon Stories reflect actual history while we don’t even know if an Arthur even existed but Alfred certainly did and was quite remarkable. Since the name of the next book is ,Lords of the North Country, how much of a part will Alfred acually play? Also, how long before Aethelflaed grows up and takes an active role in the books, I am waiting for that. I disagree with your reader who said that Brida wasn’t a believable character. I like her a lot and hope we’ll see more of her in the third book.
