The Skystone by Jack Whyte
4.0
This was a reread, but I hadn't read it in ages, so it was a worthwhile one.
I always loved these books - Whyte's Colony makes me happy, and since I was reading this concurrently with listening to Mists of Avalon (a completely different take on the Arthurian legend) it's fun to see how the same source material is treated so very differently.
Whyte's Colony is very misogynistic, though. There are only a handful of female characters, and they are explicitly either Mothers or Whores. He's also quite explicitly homophobic.
Despite these flaws, though, the story is fabulous.
