Arthur by Stephen R. Lawhead

4.0

Although it was a good book, Arthur was an unsatisfactory ending to the original Pendragon Cycle. Although there are three more books I am pretty sure they will not be able to fix this ending. I guess I shouldn't judge them before I read them but Arthur ends with Arthur disappearing along with the last of the Atlantians. Everyone else just moves on with their lives. Basically everyone dies sad because the Kingdom of Summer didn't have all the glorious years that they had envisioned. Frankly I don't blame them. When you spend two and 1/2 books trying to build a wonderful kingdom, obviously you will be disappointed when it seems to last such a short amount of time.

I did enjoy the book, however. Especially the first half when it tells of how Arthur struggles to be named King and take control of his kingdom.
