I've always loved the stories of the myth of King Arthur and his Knights. As I got older and realized there was a real Arthur from the 5th Century I looked at the stories in a different light. Some of them way to fantastical to hold a grain of truth, and others at least trying to grab for the truth. This story of Arthur, and throughout the series, has held my fascination because of staying closely connected to the roots of Celtic Briton! No knights in shinning armor or side tales of Knights of the Round table, but down and dirty war campaigns between the Britons and Saxons. There are some great characters in the books, like Ethne and her female band of Pict warriors or Syphanx and his Numidian Calvary. There is of course drama and sorrow, making Arthur a fantastic read and a brilliant conclusion to the series.

This is my honest review after reading an ARC from Netgalley and Boldwood Books.

Arthur is the fourth book in this excellent series, and it continues to deliver a great mix of historical fiction and Arthurian legend. The story is packed with action, political intrigue, and memorable battles, while Arthur remains a compelling and relatable character.

A few sections felt a bit slow, and I'd have liked more development for some of the supporting cast, but overall, this was a very enjoyable read. If you've followed the series this far, you won't be disappointed. Looking forward to the next installment.
