An amazing series. Love the writing style and story arc, this kept me turning the page, deliberating who the leader was. Amongst the finds and aganst love blossomed between couples. Have to say found myself laughing out loud on many occasions.
I would highly recommend this series.

I have been impatiently waiting for this book to come out! I was not disappointed! This final book in the Lords of Avalon series is perfect. The series follows a group of friends who formed the Avalon Society as a way to study treasures from the past. They are now searching for Holy Relics stolen or hidden during the Dissolution and are in a race against a group of brown coated men to get to the treasures first.
Ms. Richards did a fantastic job of researching plots, locations and historical events to come up with this utterly fantastic series! The twists and turns in the plot kept me reading non-stop and on the edge of my seat, especially in this last book! I almost wished the few love scenes weren't there so I could find out everything faster! I absolutely loved every member of the Avalon Society and cannot wait to continue reading their stories in the upcoming series as they search for the Shroud of Christ.

I took my time finishing this one as I didn't want it to end!! Once again I was sucked into the lives of these great characters, and loved following their journeys to the end of this particular adventure. What I love about this series is that each book follows the same overall storyline, but new characters come to the front in each book, yet the ones you fell in love with in earlier books are still very much a part of things. The same was true for Atonement, even more so as we finally got to know how it all ended. The epilogue was the best bit, as well as the tease of a new modern series which I cannot wait to read. Well done once again Kim, it was very much worth the wait and I look forward to reading them all from start to finish soon. :)

I have just finished reading 3 books in this series The Lords of Avalon by K R Richards. These books have been on my TBR list for a long time. I got the first book as a free e book on kindle on amazon.com
I was under the impression this was a historical romance with a twist and I had high hopes. The author did a lot of research and put together a very detailed story. I ended up giving all 3 books 3 stars.
I read book 1 and 2 and 4.
There was a lot of historical information given to the reader by one character and then when that character encountered his friends/family/peers etc, this information was repeated in a more condensed form but still took pages to describe. In between the mystery of finding out who are the leaders of this shadow organisation that want to cause harm to the good guys there are multiple "romantic" hook ups going on in each book with very explicit sex scenes and we are introduced to such a very large cast of characters that there is a 3 page long "who is who" at the end of the book.
At the end of book 4, I was relieved to find out who the main villain was and his exit out of the story was nicely done. Not sure if I will read any other books by this author.
My suggestion is download book 1 on kindle from amazon.com when it is free and make up your own mind if you continue with the series,

Love this took me back to a time of love and chivalry couldn't put it down.
Because it held my attention all the way to the end.

Had to see the ending
I only read the last few chapters to find out if my assumption from book 3 were correct. As mentioned in the review for the earlier book although this has an interesting plot it is laborious to read

Packing it in
This brings some closure to the Lords of Avalon series, and their adventures fighting the Browncoats (not the Firefly variety). The story kept me interested but the huge number of characters with their ridiculous long titles and names made it difficult to follow at times. The fact that the list of characters at the back of the book is over 3 pages long bears witness to this. The writer certainly tries to cover all bases, with religion, the paranormal, sex, mystery, romance and action all included.
