yurana's review
Arthur himself has hardly made an appearance so far. He apparently objects to rape and murder, but not enough to do something about it, when it is political inexpedient. I guess that makes him the good guy?
There is also the underlying story of the rivalry between Christianity and the old Druidic faith. The Christians all seem to be uneducated fanatics (and sometimes also pedophiles… let’s throw that in for flavor, too), while the druids are really into human sacrifice. I have no idea who I’m supposed to like here.
There is enough misery in this world already, I don’t need more of it. Especially since the book seems to have nothing more to say on the topic of violence and rape, except; “it happens isn’t that horrible(and/or exciting)?” Yes it is horrible and I don’t want anymore of it.
