is this book worth buying

YES! The Song of Albion is absolutely one of my favorite book trilogies of all time.

So I didn't buy that, but I bought the bright empires series

I didn't mean to but it was like $20 on Amazon

That's a really good series. The Song of Albion is my favorite, but Bright Empires is really good too. Have you read the Pendragon Cycle?

I read the first two last year but I haven't been able to get my hands on the rest. I did read his hood trilogy though. That was amazing

Oh yes! Hood is great!

PENDRAGON CYCLE

Except for his latest series (Skin map etc) which I have yet to read - but doesn't mean I don't own them ...
I've read everything by Stephen over and over. A year after my mother died I pulled out the Pendragon series to re-read again. When you take all of the books in that series (including Avalon) and line them up side by side you get 4 feet of pages (and my series is in paper back). And I dare you to find a boring or pedantic page among them. And that's just ONE of his series. Lawhead does some major work. Thousands and thousands of pages. And WE have probably read most of them. All I can add is; YIKES! Sincerely, L-L (Plus, I didn't mention Taylor Swift once - he's a baseball player, right?)

The Albion Trilogy is the first series by Stephen that I read. The first book came when I was actually so desperate for more books (being the ultimate bookworm & discovering myself living nowhere near a Library) I was buying boxes of books at cheap prices but you don't know the titles until you receive it. They had the first Albion book tucked inside. I read it, was hooked, then started cruising second hand book stores, bargain bins, etc. Until I had every book Stephen had written up until that point.
Albion is his darkest series as well. If you haven't read "Patrick" (which is one of his few stand alone - non series books) you have to get it. It may actually be better than Byzantium. Of course, that's up for debate too. (A debate as we order a pizza & listen to some Taylor Swift). ;-) L-L

I love his children's books too! I don't own them or Patrick, but I have them on my Christmas list lol Although, I don't know if I can wait that long to buy them!

I think Byzantium is a work of art, Taliesin is my favorite book so far I think that's a better series than Hood. I didn't know Hood was for kids
