Interpretation As Books Excalibur (The Arthur Books #3)
In The Winter King and Enemy of God Bernard Cornwell demonstrated his astonishing ability to make the oft-told legend of King Arthur fresh and new for our time. Now, in this riveting final volume of The Warlord Chronicles, Cornwell tells the unforgettable tale of Arthur's final struggles against the Saxons and his last attempts to triumph over a ruined marriage and ravaged dreams.This is the tale not only of a broken love remade, but also of forces both earthly and unearthly that threaten everything Arthur stands for. Peopled by princesses and bards, by warriors and magicians, Excalibur is the story of love, war, loyalty, and betrayal-the work of a magnificent storyteller at the height of his powers.

My expanded review is on BookNest!BookNest Tell your father I said, That I loved him to the end. Excalibur is the third and final book in The Warlord Chronicles by Bernard Cornwell. It brings about the conclusion of the best Arthurian novels I have ever read. This tale of Arthur, my Lord, my friend and the deliverer of Britain. Excalibur was utterly brilliant just like its predecessors. It is the finale of a story that has immersed me into the lives of the characters as my feelings became theOnto the final book in the trilogy & the conclusion.We start C 525AD, again following on with the story right after the prior book.Youll know all the characters by now so no need to go over them & Ill not give to much (if any) away, because even if you think you know the legend of Arthur from other stories, films or television this creation by Cornwell has crafted the lore into a credible story which deserves to be read unspoiled & so I think ill leave this review at that.........
The Warlord Chronicles trilogy is hands down the best Arthurian saga Ive ever had the chance to experience out of all medium."I have to confess that of all the books I have written, these three are my favourites. Bernard Cornwell2 months and 20 books after my last 5/5 stars (without rounding up) read, the end to that slump is finally here, for I have found a new addition to my favorite shelves in a genre I rarely ventured. Cornwell has a new fan and this might be a sign for me to dive into more
The last book of the Warlord Chronicles about Arthur.Didn't enjoy it quite as much as the others, not sure why. I did, however, enjoy seeing Lancelot get his comeuppance.
Per my review of WINTER KING, this is a different take on Arthur, focusing on the legend and the times. And those times were when Briton was desperately fighting itself and trying to hold back the Saxon invasions. The ruins of Roman occupation still remain. In this part of the trilogy Arthur's plans to unite Britain begin to unravel. Merlin is betrayed and former allies of Arthur turn on him or won't assist him as Mordred gathers power. Follows the Arthurian legend in some places but in others
UGHI exclaim as I lovingly thwack the book down upon the table. These are too fucking good.Excalibur is my favourite of the three. I wasnt bored once. This is how you write, lads.I endeavour to create like this. To captivate. Attention, emotions reel them from a person like a fish on a line. Until theyre so intertwined, the distinctions between character and reader become irrelevant.A perfect gathering of threads to close. Some tied up, others left dangling in the wind, leaving you to wonder.
