Becky, I liked the epilogue too. I also really enjoyed the essays at the end of each book, with historical background and some insight into how a great writer delves into a legend like this!

Elisabeth, I did really enjoy the Prydain books. I didn’t notice atheism cropping up, though it has been MANY years since I read them last. The books borrow a lot from Welsh mythology, so they have a lot of supernatural elements, but no gods to speak of, including the real one. Plenty of heroes and princesses and evil kings and monsters and magic harps and epic journeys and other mythic elements, though.

I’ve read The Song of Albion trilogy, and I think Stephen Lawhead is a brilliant writer. He makes images and scenes come alive with a few well-chosen words. But I liked the first two books better than The Endless Knot. Good to know I’m not the only one.
On the subject of books, I read on a past post that you had read and loved The Prydain Chronicles. My dad found out that the author translated the works of an atheist, and he was afraid atheism would show up in the books. Did you notice any atheism while you read them?

Hey, Rachel, great post. So Lawhead was one who influenced you. Interesting.

i agree heartily that this conclusion of the King Raven Trilogy did not disappoint. From my point of view, it satisfied beyond expectations because I hadn’t anticipated a tie-in with the well-known Robin Hood legend. I thought the epilogue was brilliant!
