I'll be interested to know what you think. I thought parts of it were far fetched.

[quote=""Telynor""]And I had a horrible time with The House at Riverton. I don't know why I disliked it so much, but by the end I was ready to chuck the book through the wall.[/quote]
I was very meh about it Telynor. I finished it, but it's not going on my top 10 of the year. Which reminds me, I need to update my reading diary.

The Bronze Horseman is one of my favourite books!
I was a little thrown by the first line of The House at Riverton, but so far its okay.

[quote=""chuck""]Today I Picked up Hellen Hollick's "The Kingmaking"...I think I have read most of the Arthurian HF books....many....many favorites....looking forward to her perspective on Artos.....[/quote]
I just put a hold on this and the next in the series at the library. Decided I'd let enough time pass so I could read another Arthur book without that old dejavu feeling.
